Don’t Trust The Groove
Wait… You feel that?
That ain’t the floor.
That’s the bass. Walked in clean,
left my shoes by the door
Heard one bass note,
now I’m stuck to the floor
Lights doing circles, walls moving slow
Something in the rhythm won’t let me go
Left foot talking, right foot replies
My jacket started dancing before I realized I tried to leave,
but the beat said “No”
Now my whole body moving with the radio
I don’t know who’s driving
I don’t know who’s in control
But when that bassline finds me It gets inside my shoes
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
It’ll grab your feet And it won’t let loose!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
You think you’re standing still But the rhythm’s moving you!
Oh-oh!
I tried to fight it!
Oh-oh!
I got excited! Saw my reflection dancing on the wall
Told it, “Calm down!” — it didn’t stop at all
Bass got sneaky, slipped under my skin
Next thing I know,
I’m dancing again
The drummer smiles like he knows my name
The guitar talks back every time I sway
Brass hits once — everybody turns Then the bass drops low and
the whole room burns I don’t know who’s driving
I don’t know who’s in control
But when that bassline finds me It gets inside my shoes
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
It’ll grab your feet And it won’t let loose!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
You think you’re standing still But the rhythm’s moving you!
Oh-oh!
I tried to fight it!
Oh-oh!
I got excited!
Bass said—
“COME HERE.”
I said— “NO.” Bass said— “COME HERE.” I said— “…OKAY.” Guitar!
Hit me! Drums!
Get nasty!
Everybody freeze— … NOW MOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
It’ll grab your feet And it won’t let loose!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
You think you’re standing still But the rhythm’s moving you!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
DON’T TRUST THE GROOVE!
If the bass calls your name— THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!
Don’t trust it…
Don’t trust the groove… …too late.
