Moving Pieces
Lyrics:
[English]
Move with me here we go
Where nobody goes to sleep
Follow me to the floor
And hit it on the count of three
1,2,3 Drop
Get up on it, back up off it
Better not miss a beat
If you want it, don’t back off it
So much goin’ on you’ll see
Moving pieces
Can you keep up with me?
So many Moving pieces
Can you keep up with me?
Ooohhh (keep moving)
See the wave catch my vibe
Oh, Let’s dance all day through the night
Don’t be afraid to touch the sky
When I count to three let’s all get live
1,2,3 Drop
Get up on it, back up off it
Better not miss a beat
If you want it, don’t back off it
So much goin’ on you’ll see
Moving pieces
Can you keep up with me?
So many Moving pieces
Can you keep up with me?
Ooohhh (keep moving)
Nananananana keep it moving
Went right try to catch me we just left
Might find us in the south
Might see the gang out west
Keep it moving like the pieces in our heads
Follow our feet they call us Travis Japan
