Step Up Lyrics by Devo

Something for Everybody

2010

[Intro]
Listen up, y'all
It's D-E-V-O

They say the night time is the right time
So now it's high time to choose your destiny
Take a hard line, let some fur fly
Learn to stay high above the stormy sea, yeah

They say the new age is the big rage
And the next stage will bring us to the edge
Now escape from your golden cage
Then turn the page on the demons in your head, stand up

Step up
Get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scenes
You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up

They say the right time is the night time
So it's about time to do what you please
Avoid the drive-by, grip tight and steer right
Into some fine wine till you're buzzed and feelin' free

Well
It's not over till the cows come home
It's not over till the fat lady sings
It's never too late to grab some gold
It's never too late to shake that thing
Shake, shake, shake..

[Spoken]
Nice. Let's go through this again

Step up
Get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scenes
You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up
