Don't want you in my dreams, don't want to fall asleep
Don't want to miss anything that you're gonna do to me
It's like a laser beam when it's just you and me
And all our thoughts they turn into e-e-e-energy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know your shock is true
It's such a tr-tr-tr-tr-trip (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're plugging into me
High-voltage chemistry

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Our love's electric, electric (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

You're in the heart of me, every part of me
You've got the everything I ever wanted it to be
It's perfect synergy when it's just you and me
And when we touch it turns into e-e-e-electricity
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know your shock is true
It's such a tr-tr-tr-tr-trip (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're plugging into me
High-voltage chemistry

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Our love's electric, electric (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

You and me, we are electric soldiers
With the power of lightning in our eyes
Don't believe a single world they told ya
When they said that we would never last, we'll always survive

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Our love's electric, electric (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Jan Arden one of the best

How do you cool your lips
After a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere

[Chorus]
Oh I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Your casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's time
To fall in love again

Oh you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

[Chorus]

Lyrics:
If it ain’t gonna bother you, it ain’t gonna bother me 
Ain’t been your day since you been born 
You been working your whole life long 
Thinkin’ about the time you’ll rest your bones 
If it ain’t gonna bother you, it ain’t botherin me 

If it ain’t gonna rock the boat, it ain’t gonna bother me 
You can go on and sail the storm 
99 days since you been gone 
Swearin’ like a sailor til’ you come home 
If it ain’t gonna rock the boat, it ain’t botherin me 

If it ain’t gonna dig your grave, it ain’t gonna bother me 
Devil be dancing over your head 
Devil be dancing before your dead 
Think about the life that you done lead 
If it ain’t gonna dig your grave, it ain’t botherin me 

If it ain’t gonna dirty the soul, it ain’t gonna bother me 
You can go on now dirty as sin 
Look at all the trouble that you get in 
Well I ain’t gonna ask you where you been 
If it ain’t gonna dirty the soul, it ain’t bothering me 

If it ain’t gonna bother you, if it ain’t gonna rock the boat 
If it ain’t gonna dig your grave, if it ain’t gonna dirty the soul 
If it ain’t gonna break your bones 
Ain’t gonna bother the bees 
If it ain’t gonna bother you, it ain’t bothering me

Prozzak be back.

Vancouver's Own Marianas Trench!

Some simple instructions
For a good first impression
Now let's start with verse one

A minor chord, tensions grow
Fade in the bass like so
Now with momentum go "stop"
And bring the beat back

It's called 4 on the floor
A beat you can't ignore
I bring sexy back once more (yeah)
They love that (yeah) for sure

The chords are 1-4-6-4
Now I'm talking familiar
Harmony in thirds not fourths
Will take you into the pre-chorus

Real quick now, don't you bore us
Hurry up and get to the chorus
Dumbed down, they won't ignore us

Get to the floor
And hear some words you should know
Like "DJ never let me go"
Or "Shots and then we'll lose control"
Or "baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
How about one more last word like
"Hey girl, we've only got tonight"
Some things just go together like
Higher, desire, and fire
Higher, desire, and fire

Guitar and strings like these
To sound like Black Eyed Peas
This one's a filter sweep
This one's Imogen Heap
Hipster music on cassette
But you probably don't know them yet
808's... (hey, ho) Hell yeah
Heartfelt pub anthems from Mumford and his sons
Gang vocals here we come
Been thinking, "I will always wait."
(Wobble Bass)

Real quick now, don't you bore us
Hurry up and get to the chorus
Dumbed down, they won't ignore us

(Tape slow down
Take 'em to the chorus)

Whoa
And hear some words you should know
Like "DJ never let me go"
Or "Shots and then we'll lose control"
Or "baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
How about one more last word like
"Hey girl, we've only got tonight"
Some things just go together like
Higher, desire, and fire
Higher, desire, and fire

(I can pitch shift my voice if I want [3x]
I can make my voice low)

The bridge is
The part when
You bring in
A rapper friend ('Sup?)
You simplify, and slow the beat
Abbreviate "feature" to "feat"

[Anami Vice:]
Quick now, fill in the gaps (Okay!)
Water it down, eliminate that which you really would rap and
Give 'em a classic like

Get-get-get (cash, money) to the floor
And hear some words you should know
Like "DJ never let me go"
Or "Shots and then we'll lose control"
Or "baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
How about one more last word like
"Hey girl, we've only got tonight"
Some things just go together like
Higher, desire, and fire
Higher, desire, and fire

(Dance)

If you could fold a piece of paper 42 times, it would reach the moon.

Simple  Maths, but tough to relate to this fact considering that the thickness  of an average paper sheet is 0.01 cm and distance  of moon from earth is  384,000 kilometers!.


Here is the proof:
Let the thickness of paper be x

On every fold ,the thickness of resulting paper will be 2 times

Therefore for 42 folds thickness becomes (2^42)  times x

Assuming x to be 0.01 cm , (2^42) times x becomes roughly 439,804 km. And distance of moon from earth is 384,000 km.
