See that boy up on the stage
I'm gonna be like him one day
Where everybody knows my name
Life won't ever be the same

And no, I may not move like him
I may not sing like him
Or dance or swing like him
You can see it in his eyes
When the crowd is hypnotized

That this is what it feels like
To grab hold of your life
He always knew he'd do this
Just until the day he dies
The music starts to dance
Everybody is in a trance
Your heart is falling for the rhythm
Music takes control over again
And again and again and again
Music takes control all over again

See that girl down in the bar
She never really got as far
As she hoped that she might get
All her plans have gone astray
I'm guessing these just weren't her days
And no, she may not move like him
She may not sing like him
Or dance or swing like him
She never really got a shot of fame
Where everybody knows her name

And this is what it feels like
To grab hold of your life
She always knew he'd do this
Just until the day he dies
The music starts to dance
Everybody is in a trance
Your heart is falling for the rhythm
Music takes control over again
And again and again and again
Music takes control all over again
