One Drink Johnny
Well I guess I'm not the only one who freaks out to myself
In the middle of a crowd did I just say that out loud
Well my greatest performance will be that bit on confidence
One shot until I know who I am
I thank God you can't read my thoughts
And I thank God I took the chance
When you get a minute
Can I get a minute from you
Spend time on the dance floor too
Break it down build it back up new
When the music hits on cue
Everybody cut loose
Found your groove put it on loop and dig yourself into it do it
Transparency could make you look foolish
Listen to critics then we stop hearing music
Loud and clear let me know that you're hearing it
Everybody connect to the experience
In unison one swift movement
Forget the hype nothing's exclusive
I know you want to get down
Cut up the rug and tear it out
So what's you what's your whereabouts
It comes together right here and now
A good time is paramount
I can hear the sweetest sound
Absorb the atmosphere around
Let me see your hands now
Put em up in the atmos'
Room shaking like the Holy Ghost
Everybody wants to lose control
Everybody let your body go
Turn it up sound system blaring go to sleep listen to your ears ring
Tune in selective hearing are you ready to start the show
Not sure what's in store or what exactly you came here for
Not one to force an encore I'll say goodnight you say more
They call me one drink Johnny
I put the art into party
I'm not too late I'm not too early
Perfect timing
Right down the middle gonna split em half
I think this side's much louder than that
Say yeah where you at
I'll say echo the room yells back...
Backstage you can hear the crowd buzzin
Jump the gun interrupt the introduction
Don't need to play it cool we're excited to be here
It's in our body language check the demeanor
Keep it rocking crowd pleasing
You and me is a good enough reason
You can pick what time in the evening
It ain't stopping until you're leaving
So it begins at a half past 10 we all showed up to tear the place up
When it ends at 5am on my porch
Sipping coffee with the steam wafting
Like to get up before the world does
Doesn't take much for me to get a buzz
Up all night the morning came fast
Let's toast until there's broken glass
They call me one drink Johnny
I put the art into party
I'm not too late I'm not too early
Perfect timing
Intoxicating stimulating
A good imagination is never dated
We were in the zone timelessly sedated
Take a second to pause
Notice the nuance
Throw that imagery against the wall
Senses heightened on overload
Every crook cranny crevice stone
Pin drop bottle top quiet place hot spot
Took the bus into the city
From grim and gritty street lamps lit dimly
Forget bright lights we got glow stick money
Party people in the place to be since the first time I said it in '93'
When i was young it came so carefree no need to fight the feeling
Booked a show before I had a beat
Put my fingers on an MPC a few seconds to loop a lifetime to
Dream still want to master the ceremony
The Picasso of crowd control I've been told
Picasso of crowd control so you know
You can't spell party without art
