Been down yeah! Well I look down and my mind blows away Deep in the darkness "illuminate" Beyond a million miles Something slid up to my head Circling around [in] my eye - eye - eyes And I said, "Smooth operator" sez: Get up - get up and outta here, Smooth operator sez: Yeah! Lights band the traffic thunder two blocks west of the rest Tore away the bottom and saw life is a test [life is a test] Beyond 1,000,000 miles Well I ricocheted through my head One hand k** the other's cra-a-crazy What she said - Smooth operator sez: Get up - get up and outta here, Smooth operator sez... Sail into nightghost ship a tripping Struck by the plunge something to see - yeah! Bootleg the girl - she is a looka Pure is the fear that breaks away. [Yeah] Straight to the sun I am a walk'n state of the art - all that I see [Yeah] New gods move whipp'n the shore and dash on the reef - surf city... [Well] I walk alone and stare, man, right in the sun [Yeah!] Tear-jerk asylum and cemetery run [cemetery run] Well, how'd I ever get this far, man? Smooth curves switchback the sweat Underneath the body, baby - where what you see is what you... see and... what you... GET!
