[Intro — Spoken, deep warm voice] Some fires disappear with the morning... some burn for a night. But once in a lifetime, you meet somebody who turns the whole damn universe into a dance floor. Baby... turn on the lights. Let it burn. [Verse 1] I call you up when my soul's aflame One little word and I'm back in the game You strike the match, I can feel that heat Electric love running under the beat Chrome in the moonlight, stars in your eyes Disco reflections are painting the sky I came for the rhythm, but then I found You were the fire inside the sound [Pre-Chorus 1] One spark — and the whole room knows One touch — and the fever grows No stopping now, no turning around Baby, bring that funky love down [Chorus 1] You got that burnin’ desire — woah! Setting my passion on fire — uh-huh! Turning my heart to a live wire Groove with me higher and higher Burnin’ desire Burnin’ desire Light up the night and take me higher [Verse 2] Promises rise like the beat in the air You built a world and you pulled me in there You're my compass, my rhythm, my way My midnight tomorrow, my yesterday Mirror-ball planets are spinning above Every rotation keeps pulling our love Bass line talking, telling the truth We found forever inside this groove [Pre-Chorus 2] Two hearts — but a single sound One beat — when you're around The stars keep moving, the planets align Your rhythm is falling perfectly into mine [Chorus 2] You got that burnin’ desire — woah! Setting my passion on fire — come on! Turning my heart to a live wire Groove with me higher and higher Burnin’ desire Across the universe tonight Burnin’ desire Baby, keep that fire alive [Verse 3 Discofunk Drop] Every night you keep me alive Waves of your heat make my whole soul jive No gravity here when you're holding me near The rest of the world simply disappears Silver shoes underneath neon skies A thousand galaxies dance in your eyes No destination, nowhere to land Just your heartbeat holding my hand [Pre-Chorus 3] Three... two... one... let the rhythm ignite We got enough funk to illuminate the night No map, no rules, no finish line Just your burning heart next to mine [Chorus 3] You got that burnin’ desire — woah! Setting the whole damn cosmos on fire Turning my heart to a live wire Groove with me higher and higher Burnin’ desire Feel that bass line taking us higher Burnin’ desire We got the stars singing in the choir [Verse 4 Funky Drop] Now morning is waiting beyond the door But nobody's leaving this floor anymore The strings keep climbing, the bass digs deep Even the moon forgot how to sleep If this is madness, let madness stay We'll funk through tomorrow and dance through today From one little spark to a universe bright Baby, we invented our own kind of light [Pre-Chorus 4 — Breakdown] Kill the drums... Leave the bass... One heartbeat... One voice... One spark in the darkness... Now bring the whole damn universe BACK! [Final Chorus] YOU GOT THAT BURNIN’ DESIRE — WOAH! SETTING THE WHOLE UNIVERSE ON FIRE TURNING OUR HEARTS TO A LIVE WIRE GROOVE WITH ME HIGHER AND HIGHER Burnin’ desire! Let the mirror ball shine Burnin’ desire! Your rhythm into mine Burnin’ desire! From the Earth to the stars Burnin’ desire! Baby, tonight the whole cosmos is ours [Outro — Funk jam / Spoken] Rhodes keeps talking... bass keeps walking... strings keep flying... And somewhere between the last beat and the first light of morning... we discovered something. The universe has always been funky. [Whisper] Burn, baby... burn. [Long instrumental outro — slap bass, Rhodes improvisation, wah guitar, disco strings, brass stabs, handclaps, female backing vocals fading into space]
