i know, i know, i know, i know,
i know, i know, i know about your kind.
and so, and so, and so, and so,
and so, and so, and so i'll have to play.

if you think you're getting away,
i will prove you wrong.
i'll take you all the way,
boy, just come along.
hear me when i say,
hey...

it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not kill the groove,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not steal the move,
dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down.

i know, i know, i know, i know,
i know, i know, i know there might be others.
and so, and so, and so, and so,
and so, and so, and so you'll have to pray.

if you think you're getting away,
i will prove you wrong.
i'll take you all the way,
just stay another song.
i'll blow you all away,
hey...

it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not kill the groove,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not steal the move,
dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down.

it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not kill the groove,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not steal the move,
dj, gonna turn this house around somehow.

it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not kill the groove,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
it's murder on the dancefloor,
but you better not steal the move,
dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down.

murder...murder...murder...

no one has ever accused sophie ellis bextor of profundity, but if that ain't one helluva metaphor for life, then i don't know what is.
