Overdrive - Steam Powered Giraffe

When I enter a room there shines a blinding light

It is so bright, people shield their eyes

I take a step back and pivot around on my feet

So everyone can see what I am wearing

Beam a smile to the host at the back of the room

Then tip my hat so slowly;

man that’s really cool

Oh oh oh, oh oh, ohohohohoh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, ohohohohoh

Oh, Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh, Oh

I’ve got my hand and the room is on it

Hatch: On my palm, make 'em all.

…dance to and fro

with their eyes

their sight

drinks me in

and tries

to com-pre-hend all-of-my

Charming looks

Chiseled face

Glooooowing eeeeeeyes

then they stare at my moves

gleaming smile (Glooooowing eyes)

and fancy shoes

That’s when we go into

Overdrive

Overdrive

Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive

Overdrive

Overdrive

Our heads are on right, we are just in an overdrive

And our dancing comes so naturally we don’t even have to try

We’ve got these moves (you think they’re not cool?)

We don’t know how to dance

We just carry ourselves in an overdriven stance

Oh, oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh,

Ohohohohohohohoh

I drive my car straight through the walls, into the ballroom

and people gasp when they realize that the car matches the color of my eyes

My head is rocking back and forth, synced to the beat

And all the while I’m tapping the dance floor with my feet

Point to the ceiling just before the music comes on (dance floor,

dance floor oh)

and no one will be prepared, for my moves at they will have stared (dance,

dance, dance, dance dance)

Oh oh oh, oh oh, ohohohohoh (tappin' the dance floor)

Oh oh oh.

oh oh, ohohohohoh (c’mon)

Oh, Oh, Oh (tap those feet)

Oh, Oh, Oh

I’ve got my hand and the room is on it (oh yeah)

On my palm, make 'em all.

…dance to and fro (ohhohohoh)

Hatch: with their eyes

their sight

drinks me in (oh yeah)

Hatch: and tries

to com-pre-hend all-of-my (okay)

Charming looks

Chiseled face

Glooooowing eeeeeeyes

then they stare at my moves

gleaming smile (Glooooowing eyes)

and fancy shoes

That’s when we go into

Overdrive

Overdrive

Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive (oh yeah)

Overdrive

Overdrive

Overdrive

Overdrive is taking me over and driving me

Overdrive don’t stop, we all like this feeling (overdrive)

Our heads are on right, we are just in an overdrive (you know it’s true)

Our dancing comes so naturally we don’t even have to try (overdrive)

We’ve got these moves (you think they’re not cool?) (oh yeah)

We don’t know how to dance

We just carry ourselves in this overdriven stance (yeah)

Oh, oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh,

Ohohohohohohohoh

Whoa!

Grab your ears and disappear 'cause SPG is here

with rhymes and beats so hot they sear through all your fears

Everybody start to cheer and break down what you hear

'cause I’m gonna drop a sphere of sound that’ll make your eyes tear

All you people 'round in here better get in gear

'cause when I started my career it was to last hundred years

The party won’t stop, now that’s pretty clear

'cause all of the exits I have commandeered

A fat cat sat on my hat

and spat a rat up on my bathmat

He once knew a gnat, his name was Pat

He liked to chat, but his pitch was flat

My friend went splat, where she at?

was she flying with her homies like a leaf-nosed bat

into a big vat

of strawberry fruit snacks

losing all her health stats because of that?

Oh!

Overdrive is taking me over and driving me

Overdrive don’t stop, we all like this feeling (everybody put your hands up)

Overdrive

Overdrive

Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive (don’t stop)

Overdrive (don’t stop)

Overdrive (don’t stop)

Over-d-d-d-d-drive (yeh)
