In the devil's playground
With an Idol mind
Straight up, ready to go
Announce the time

Does he still have the magic?
Yes he does
He'll be famous
Just because
Just because

You know you're gonna have
To turn around
Just because you have to change
Your mind sometimes
Yeah, you're gonna have to
Turn around
Ride my rocket

Round and round
And round we go
One time before I die
Round and round and
Round the world
In super overdrive
See the world through a little hole
See it fly by
Here I am in super overdrive
Super overdrive
Super overdrive

I'm slidin' on the swings
I'm swinging' on the slides, I'm Alive
Fuel-injected, passion-erected, death-defied
One day it's gonna come, boy
You're gonna pay oh
That ain't today ridin' on the Milky Way
On the Milky Way

You know you're gonna have
To turn around
Just because you have to change
Your mind sometimes
Yeah, you're gonna have to
Turn around
Bite the Bullet

Round and round
And round we go
One time before I die
Round and round and round the world
In super overdrive
See the world through a little hole
See it fly by
Here I am in super overdrive
Super overdrive
In super overdrive

Take it

1,2,3,4

Well in the devil's playground
With an Idol mind
Straight up, ready to go
Announce the time

Does he still have the magic?
Yes he does
He'll be famous
Just because
Just because

Round and round and round we go
One time before we die
Round and round and round the world
In super overdrive
Round and round and round we go
One time before I die
Round and round and round the world
In super overdrive
See the world through a little hole
See it fly by
Here I am in super over
Here I am in super over
Here I am in super overdrive

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
