It’s been so long since I saw your face                                                      That I’ve forgotten what you look like

It’s been so long since I heard your voice                                                 That I’ve forgotten what you sound like

Enough!                                                                                                          Enough of the texts!                                                                                            To hell with the damned autocorrects!                                                        No more emails or messages to phones!                                                        It is time to bring it on home!

We’re going out tonight                                                                                                              We’re gonna make it right                                                                                                       We’re gonna feel some rapid fire funk tonight!

The time has come to share the same space                                                So close I reach out and touch you                                                             Most of the time I look out from the stage                                                   To people I want to do that to

Enough!                                                                                                                   Of not enough time!                                                                                          The daily re-trace of everyday life!                                                             Stop the rat race and carve some time out!                                          What’s this life for?                                                                                      What’s it all about?

We’re going out tonight                                                                                                              We’re gonna make it right                                                                                                       We’re gonna feel some rapid fire funk tonight!

<Guitar Solo>

We’re going out tonight                                                                                                              We’re gonna make it right                                                                                                       We’re gonna feel some rapid fire funk tonight!

We’re going out tonight                                                                                                              We’re gonna, were gonna make it right                                                                                                       We’re gonna feel some rapid fire funk tonight!

***Song ends with vocal noodling that was captured as tape rolled during the guitar solo, and then cut & pasted to the end.
