  • Midnight rockers
    City slickers
    Gunmen and maniacs
    All will feature on the freakshow
    And I can't do nothing 'bout that, no
    But if you hurt what's mine
    I'll sure as hell retaliate

    You can free the world, you can free my mind
    Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

    You can free the world, you can free my mind
    Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

    Terious, terious, terious, infectious and dangerous
    Friends and enemies find us contagerious
    I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
    To see me lookin' back at you

    Lucky dippers
    Crazy chancers
    Seems to be moving fast
    What happened to the nicities
    Of my childhood days
    Well I can't do nothing 'bout that, no
    But if you hurt what's mine
    I'll sure as hell retaliate

    You can free the world, you can free my mind
    Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

    You can free the world, you can free my mind
    Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

    Terious, terious, terious, infectious and dangerous
    Friends and enemies I find it's contagerous
    And they're spreading through your system like a virus
    Yes the trouble in the end it makes you anxious

    I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me
    To see me lookin back at you

    I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me
    To see me lookin back at you

    But if you hurt what's mine
    I'll sure as hell retaliate
    You can free the world, you can free my mind
    Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

    You can free the world, you can free my mind
    Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight Writer/s: Andrew Lee Isaac Vowles, Grantley Marshall, Robert Del Naja, Shara Nelson, William Emanuel Cobham Jr.

  • Mark BoyleThe line "I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me to see me lookin back at you" is stolen from the 1973 David Essex song "Streetfight", which in turn was stolen from Johnny Watson's "Looking Back" of 1965, made famous by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.
