  A   BThe pushing of the people,   A    BI like it all so much 
[Intro: B]
BThe time I like is the rush hour, 'cause I like the rush 
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much 
Such a mass of motion, do not know where it goes 
BI move with the movement and A- I have the tBouch
BI'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark 
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark 
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair 
BOh, do I dare - AI have the tBouch
