Contagious Lyrics

Run it through a red light
Twice the speed of sound
Drive it on the white line
Pull it in and out
Grab the wheel and take a chance at luck
We got the rhythm, gonna tear it up
And burn it after midnight

Oh-oh-oh...
Get dangerous, it's contagious
Oh-oh-oh...
Outrageous, it's contagious

Walkin' on a high wire
Over a net of flames
Headin' for the wild life
We're free to break the chains
Don't hesitate when the feeling's right
Forget about it, shake and roll the dice
And burn it after midnight

Oh-oh-oh...
Get dangerous, it's contagious
Oh-oh-oh...
Outrageous, it's contagious
You know what time it is?
It's time to get wild
(Hey, hey, hey)

Oh-oh-oh...
Ooh, it's getting dangerous, it's contagious
Oh-oh-oh...
You and me, we're outrageous, it's contagious

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
