It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore. aahhahhahh
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I aiaiai
The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic. aaahhhaii
If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On".
aaahhhaii
Honesty or mystery? aahhaiahhai
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I aiaiai. I don’t seem obvious do I? Do I aiaiai.
(The Bridge)
Do I?
Oh I'm here, that means something doesn't it?
Oh won’t you dance with me a little bit?
Oh you don’t notice, I guess the music’s too loud.
It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
Say anything you want already I’m not scared anymore.
Honesty or mystery?
Want something else?
Just tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?
(Fill in your own aiaiaiais!!!)
(It should all be right.)
