Watch Closely Now
[Intro]
Okay folks, the John Norman Howard Speedway
Watch closely now
You'll observe a curious exchange of energy
Are you a figment of my imagination
Or am I one of yours?

[Verse 1]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now
Your eyes are like fingers
They're touching my body
And arousing my soul
Riding the passion arising inside me
How high can I go?
You're comin' with me, girl
I'm gonna show you how
When it's scary
Don't look down

[Verse 2]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me on
Higher and harder and faster and farther
Than I've ever gone
We're coming closer, lady
Don't ya leave me now
We're gonna make it
Don't look down
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm takin' me too many chances
With no net at all
Maybe I'll teach you at least
That you've got to be free when you fall

[Verse 3]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician
Who's setting you free
From the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back?
Bring your last straw to me
I turn straw into gold
I'm gonna need you later
When you're not around
But I can take it
Don't look down

[Outro]
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
