Adolescent Sex

(album: Adolescent Sex - 1978)

Well, the sidewalk's trading love as subway lights grow brighter
We're just another hype, but the pressure's getting harder

Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher

A lovers' etiquette; make love on first impression
And adolescent sex with juvenile intentions

Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher

Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night

Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher

Well, the lady buys a thrill; excitement in succession
But a heartache won't partake in articulate obsession

Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher – oh yeah
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher

Oh, well, pretty things at rest, no courtesy; surprising
For love is heaven-blessed, all catastrophes denying

Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher

Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night

Aw, when you're out on the street with your lover's infections
Counting possibilities by elimination
And your body's still damp from your one-room apartment
And your heartache remains, when love's not the antidote
You'll submerge again
Emerge again – just get off the street

Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night – just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night

Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher – take it much higher, yeah
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher – take it much higher, yeah
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher – take it much higher, yeah
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, take it much higher
