Been down yeah!   Well I look down and my mind blows away   Deep in the darkness "illuminate"   Beyond a million miles   Something slid up to my head   Circling around [in] my eye - eye - eyes   And I said, "Smooth operator" sez: Get up - get up and outta here,   Smooth operator sez: Yeah!   Lights band the traffic thunder two blocks west of the rest   Tore away the bottom and saw life is a test [life is a test]   Beyond 1,000,000 miles   Well I ricocheted through my head   One hand kill the other's cra-a-crazy   What she said - Smooth operator sez: Get up - get up and outta here,   Smooth operator sez...   Sail into nightghost ship a tripping   Struck by the plunge something to see - yeah!   Bootleg the girl - she is a looka   Pure is the fear that breaks away. [Yeah]   Straight to the sun I am a walk'n state of the art - all that I see   [Yeah]   New gods move whipp'n the shore and dash on the reef - surf city...   [Well] I walk alone and stare, man, right in the sun   [Yeah!] Tear-jerk asylum and cemetery run [cemetery run]   Well, how'd I ever get this far, man?   Smooth curves switchback the sweat   Underneath the body, baby - where what you see is what you...   see and...  What you...  GET!
