Song Lyrics

Bang bang

Could a body close the mind down
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good you'll live forever
If you're bad, you'll die when you die

Hearing only one true note
I'm the one and only sound
Unzip my body, take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune

(Taking a picture of)
(Taking a picture of)
(Taking a picture of)
Bang Bang

Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
I would give it all, and all
Maybe you would give me less for half a chance

Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound

(Unzip my heart)

And if I need a rhythm
It'll be to my heart I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong
(And if I and if I)
And if I need a rhythm
It will be to my heart I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong

Everybody smile, please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
(To my heart) taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

Ramalama, bang bang
Flash bang
Big bang
Bing bong
Ding dong
Dom dom do dom dom

With a hammer bang bang
Flash bang
Press gang
Bing bong
Ding dong
Hum hum ho Hum Hum

With a system of a bang bang
Crash bang
Big bang
Boing boing
Boing boing
Dumb dumb do dumb dumb

With a system of a bang bang
Crash bang
Big bang
Boing boing
Boing boing
Dumb dumb do dumb dumb

Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on

And if I and if I need a rhythm (and if I need a rhythm)
Gonna be to my heart I listen
And if I and if I need a rhythm (and if I and if I need a rhythm)
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
And if I and if I need a rhythm (and if I and if I need a rhythm)
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
(Need a rhythm, in my heart a rhythm)(and if I)
(Need a rhythm)
(Need a rhythm)
(Need a rhythm)
(Need a rhythm)

And if I and if I need a rhythm (keep on, keep on)

Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
