Just let me ask you:

Hey, have you heard of my religion?

It's called the Church of Hot Addiction

And we believe that God has lust for everything

Because now,

the time has come for your devotion.

And you already got a notion

Of what I need,

just give it, just give it,

just give it to me.

You're waiting!

Turn out the lights.

Tonight, I am the drug you can't deny!

Tonight, Gabe gonna get you high!

My light is electric, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, yeah, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, yeah, hey hey hey!

My light is electric!

Just let me tell you,

hey, you gotta get the Cobra bless now!

You're really only selling sex now,

but I can pay

the price you charge for what I need.

Because I,

I've got a nasty new compulsion!

And you've already got a notion

Of what I need,

just give it, just give it,

just give it to me!

You're waiting!

Turn out the lights.

Tonight, I am the drug you can't deny!

Tonight, Gabe gonna get you high!

My light is electric!

Tonight, I am the drug you can't deny!

Tonight, Gabe gonna get you high!

My light is electric, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, yeah, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, yeah, hey hey hey!

My light is electric!

I've got electric eyes.

And I can get you high.

I've got electric eyes.

I'm gonna get you!

Tonight, I am the drug you can't deny!

Tonight, Gabe gonna get you high!

My light is, light is, light is!

Tonight, I am the drug you can't deny!

Tonight, Gabe gonna get you high!

My light is electric, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, yeah, hey hey hey!

My light is electric, hey hey hey!

Key Grammar Structures

• Hey, have you heard of my religion?

  ➔ Present Perfect Question

  ➔ The phrase uses the auxiliary verb "have" + past participle ("heard") to ask if the listener has prior experience or knowledge of the speaker's "religion". It implies a connection to the present. "Have you heard" is a common way to introduce a new topic.

• Because now, the time has come for your devotion.

  ➔ Present Perfect with 'come'

  ➔ "The time has come" is an idiomatic expression meaning a particular moment has arrived. The present perfect ("has come") emphasizes that this moment is now relevant and impactful. It's not just *that* the time came, but that it *has* come, and therefore action is required.

• You're waiting!

  ➔ Present Continuous for Immediacy

  ➔ The present continuous ("You're waiting!") isn't describing an ongoing action, but rather emphasizing that the listener *is currently* in a state of anticipation. It creates a sense of urgency and immediacy.

• Tonight, I am the drug you can't deny!

  ➔ Metaphorical Identification

  ➔ This line uses a metaphor, equating the speaker to a "drug". The verb "am" establishes a direct identification, and "can't deny" implies an irresistible power. It's not literal; it's a statement of intense attraction and control.
