Live, baby, live
Now that the day is over
I got a new sensation
Mm, perfect moments
That's so impossible to refuse

Sleep, baby, sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes like a god
Into our room
All perfect light and promises

Got a hold on you
(A new sensation, a new sensation)
Right now
It's gonna take you over
(A new sensation, a new sensation)

Dream, baby, dream
Of all that's come and going
And you will find out, in the end
There really is
There really is no difference

Ah
Cry, baby, cry
When you got to get it out
I'll be your shoulder, you can tell me all
Don't keep it in ya
Well, that's the reason why I'm here

Hey, hey, yeah
Are you ready for a
(A new sensation, new sensation)
Right now
Gonna take you over
(A new sensation, a new sensation)
Trumpet!

(A new sensation, a new sensation)
Hey hey hey hey hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

(A new sensation)
Hate, baby, hate
When there's nothing left for you
You're only human, what can you do?
It'll soon be over
Don't let your pain take over you

Love, baby, love
It's written all over your face
There's nothing better we could do
Than live forever
Well, that's all we've got to do

Hey now, uh-uh-uh-uh
I'm gonna take you over
(A new sensation, a new sensation)
Right now
I've got a hold on you
(A new sensation, a new sensation)
(A new sensation, a new sensation)
Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
Huh, huh

A new sensation

INXS was originally formed in 1977 in Sydney, Australia as the Farriss Brothers. The lineup included the three Farris brothers: Andrew

(songwriter/keyboards); Tim (guitar); and Jon (drums), along with Michael Hutchence (lead vocals/songwriter); Kirk Pengilly (guitar/saxophone) and Garry Gary Beers (bass). They began gaining popularity playing in pubs before moving on to support other local Australian bands, including Midnight Oil.

In 1979, they changed their name to INXS and released their first single “Simple Simon” in 1980. They went on to release their debut self-titled album INXS in 1980, closely followed by their second album, Underneath the Colours, in 1981. Neither album gained much attention outside of Australia, however, in July of 1982 INXS released their single “The One Thing” ahead of their next studio album. The song began to climb the U.S. and international charts, thanks in part to music video’s heavy rotation on MTV.
