In the rhythm of the street, the steam is rising, you can feel the heat She puts on her make-up, puts shoes on her feet, she's going down tonight You can feel it from a distance like a nuclear bomb She knows she's looking good with the new dress on And all the guys with the X-ray eyes check her out as she walks on by
She's a primitive girl, no jewel like money's buyin' A slave to the rhythm, a rhythm machine I wanna make that girl, make that scene
Chorus: There's a heatwave on the floor tonight Watch her move, watch her melt the ice She's in ecstasy, she spins and she whirls Dancing off the edge, off the edge of the world
I'm looking for a hot romance, how am I gonna get that girl When she's dancing off the edge of the world Dancing off the edge, watch her move
In the rhythm of the beat, she motions her body, she becomes complete With the rock 'n roll music, it's indiscrete, it's sexual You'd better cut her some space, give her some air You can try if you like, but I wouldn't dare She don't know it yet, but this is a love affair, she's mine, all mine
She's a primitive girl, no jewel like money's buyin' A slave to the rhythm, a rhythm machine I wanna make that girl, make that scene
Chorus
I'm looking for a hot romance, how am I gonna kiss that girl When she's dancing off the edge of the world
Just look at that girl, watch her move, yeah, watch her groove
(Instrumental break)
Everyone sees me smile, from a million miles away All the gigolo's try and try their best move, she just walks on by
Chorus
Dancing off the edge, the edge of the world, yeah Dancing off the edge, the edge of my world, dancing off the edge
