Summertime in the bustling city Stuck at home on a Saturday night What good is being there when you're all alone? Downtown at the Solar Ballroom We're swinging on 'til the break of dawn Catch me belt out a little tune on my microphone I've got a message for you I'm gonna set this place ablaze I don't mess around Gonna light your world on fire Burn it down I'm gonna burn this house down to the ground You got one last chance to get outta town I'm gonna set the world on fire Burn it down (ski-bi-di-ba pi-po-pi-pa pi-pa-ba-da-da) Loud music getting people moving Jumping and jiving and all that jazz Ella says, without swing "it don't mean a thing" Showtime at the Solar Ballroom You bought the ticket; gonna take the ride Watch me unleash the fire of a thousand suns It's time to pay your dues I'm gonna set this place ablaze I don't mess around Gonna light your world on fire Burn it down I'm gonna burn this house right to the ground You got one last chance to get outta town I'm gonna set the world on fire Burn it down (ski-bi-di-ba pi-po-pi-pa pi-pa-ba-da-da) Let's go! I'm gonna set this place ablaze I don't mess around Gonna light your world on fire Burn it down I'm gonna burn this house right to the ground You got one last chance to get outta town I'm gonna set the world on fire Burn it down Burn it down! (ski-bi-di-ba pi-po-pi-pa pi-pa-ba-da-da)

It all started when I was younger Just an awkward kid in grade school Navigating the waters of childhood All I really wanted was to be heard I wouldn't have to take it much longer What didn't kill me made me stronger Can't break the spirit that's inside me There's a fire that burns deep within Can't stop the energy that drives me There's a light that shines on forever Can't crush the dreams that inspire me You only get one life, make it worthwhile Can't catch a star that isn't falling Watch out, I'm a radiating SUPERNOVA It all worsened as I got older Such an awkward teen in high school Suffering the pains of adolescence All I really wanted was to fit in I don't have to take it any longer What doesn't kill me makes me stronger Can't break the spirit that's inside me There's a fire that burns deep within Can't stop the energy that drives me There's a light that shines on forever Can't crush the dreams that inspire me You only get one shot, make it matter Can't catch a star that isn't falling Stand back, I'm exploding like a SUPERNOVA

Looking back at an empty road So many years have come and gone Reflecting on moments lost in time Was it real or was it just a dream? It doesn’t really matter now Things happen for a reason If I could do it all again Would I make better choices? Searching for the answers To the questions on my mind Making a decision To leave the past behind Gazing toward the sunset I'm filled with euphoria Beyond the horizon A Mikutopia Walking down an endless road So many faces have come and gone Counting the milestones along the way Will this end or will this just go on? Does it really matter now? Things happen for a reason If I can do it all again Will I make better choices? Searching for solutions To the troubles on my mind Making the decision To leave them all behind Gazing toward the sunset I'm filled with euphoria Beyond the horizon A Mikutopia It does really matter now Things happen for a reason So when I do it all again I will make better choices Searching for a new home A place to call my own Picturing a world Where I’ll never be alone Gazing toward the sunset I'm filled with euphoria In a city of the future A Mikutopia
