Do What You Want Lyrics

So you were born in an electrical storm
Took a bite out the sun
And saw your future in a machine built for two
Now your rays make me kind of go crazy
Shock and awe and amaze me
Just a ticker tape parade and me

But something was wrong
'Til you tap-danced on the air, in the night
Screaming at the top of your lungs
You said
"Come on, come on
Do what you want
What could go wrong?
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on
Do what you want
Oh, come on, come on
What could go wrong?
Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah"
Come on, oh

Me, I was raised
Amid the trickle-down days
I woke up numb in the haze
And saw my future in a machine built for two
But the light
Gave me some kind of fright
How did wrong get so right?
Well, lead me stumbling through the dark of night

Oh, something was wrong
But you tap-danced on the air
In the night
Screaming at the top of your lungs
You said
"Come on come on
Do what you want
What could go wrong?
Come on come on come on, come on
Do what you want
Oh come on come on
What could go wrong?
Do, do, do, do what you want
Yeah"
Come on

Do, do, do, do what you want
Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah
Alright

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah
Do, do, do, do what you want, yeah, yeah
Ah, do what you want
Ooh, do what you want
Oh, do what you want
Do, do what you want
Do, do what you want
Do, do what you want
C-c-come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do what you want
Do, do, yeah
