When it comes to stealing, I just lose control When I get that feeling, My eyes begins to roll Lots of folks I see each day, think I lead a life so gay The reason I shake this way, it's just a Saint Vitus dance When it comes to stealing, I just lose control When I get that feeling, My eyes begins to roll Lots of folks I see each day, think I lead a life so gay The reason I shake this way, it's just a Saint Vitus dance
