lyrics

[Intro]
Hey
Three, two, one
Three, two, one
Yeah

[Verse 1]
You've got a mouth full of cigarettes
And a heart that pumps for blood and sweat
If you leave me out of this
You might get away with it
Because the second I enter into the room
They're gonna know it was me and it'll lead 'em to you
I've got a reputation for making the noise
Scream "more" if you're with me
Hit the dance floor if you're with me
We're gonna settle the score if you're with me

[Chorus]
'Cause in five, four, three, two, one
(Stage set, cold sweat, it's on)
We take this thing live
Hit the lights, hit the lights
Five, four, three, two, one
(Russian roulette, it's on)
We're doing it live
Hit the lights, hit the lights

[Verse 2]
So if you're ready to go
Everybody knows
Smoking kills, but burning is
A more effective way to let them know
You're serious

But the second you scream out for more
You better know what you're asking for
Me and the boys will be bringing the noise
For the next four minutes
Get up if you're feeling this

[Chorus]
'Cause in five, four, three, two, one
(Stage set, cold sweat, it's on)
We take this thing live
Hit the lights, hit the lights
Five, four, three, two, one
(Russian roulette, it's on)
We're doing it live
Hit the lights, hit the lights

[Breakdown]
Yeah oh
Everybody with all you've got
Let me hear you

Three, two, one
Three, two, one
Three, two, one
Three, two, one

(Three, two, one)
'Cause in five, four, three, two, one
(Three, two, one)
(Three, two, one)
We take this thing live
(Oh)
Hit the lights, hit the lights
[Outro]
Five, four, three, two, one
We're doing it live
Hit the lights, hit the lights

about

The Dawn Retreat image

The Dawn Retreat Aledo, Illinois

The Dawn Retreat is the musical equivalent of a superhero team-up, but with more guitars and slightly less spandex. Their vocalist is like the lovechild of Burt McCraken and Michael Jackson. The guitarist's riffs are so catchy, he's still in quarantine. The bassist's grooves are so funky, you'll need a bath. And the drummer's beats are so deadly, he's wanted in three states. ... more
