Can you ride the rhythm of this human wave
Caught up in the music and the space you save
Caught up in the magic of it
Caught up in the madness

Sometimes you scare yourself
You're so strong
You're so tough

Can you feel the fire pumping through your veins
You try to get up and here it comes again
Right down to the basics of it
Right down to the wire

Chorus:
Oh, if you feel like you're hangin' on a heart attack
Hold on, come back, oh, yeah
It's just that easy
If you feel like you're hangin' on a heart attack
Hold on, come back, oh yeah
It's just that easy

Ring the bell, ring the bell, let the walls come down
Surrender your wings before they lift you off the ground
Surrender for every reason
Surrender yourself

Sometimes you go so far
You're so hot
You can't stop

Can you make it last, make it rock to the bone
If you do it faster will the hunger drive you home
Right down to the basics of it
Right down to the wire

Chorus

Can you ride the rhythm of this human wave
Caught up in the music and the space you save
Caught up in the magic of it
Caught up in the madness
