[Intro]
There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It’s a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
When they...
There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It’s a hole in the wall, dirty free for all

[Verse 1]
When the dark of the night
Comes around, that's the time
That the animal comes alive
Looking for something wild

[Pre-Chorus]
And now we lookin' like pimps in my gold Trans Am
Got a water bottle full of whiskey in my handbag
Got my drunk text on, I'll regret it in the morning
But tonight, I don't give a​ (I don't give a, I don't give a...)

[Chorus]
There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It’s a hole in the wall, it’s a dirty free for all
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you’re looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off

[Verse 2]
Lose your mind, lose it now
Lose your clothes in the crowd
We're delirious, tear it down
'Til the sun comes back around

[Pre-Chorus]
N-now we lookin’ so smashed, knockin' over trash cans
E'rybody breakin' bottles, it's a filthy hot mess
And I'm gonna get faded, I'm not the designated driver
So, I don't give a (I don't give a, I don't give a...)

[Chorus]
There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off

[Breakdown]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
(Everybody take it off)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
(Everybody take it off)

[Bridge]
Right now (Take it off)
Right now (Take it off)
Right now (Take it off), oh-oh
Right now (Take it off)
Right now (Take it off)
Right now (Take it off, everybody take it off)

[Chorus]
There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
