Song: "I Believe in a Thing called Love"

Artist: The Darkness

Can't explain all the mixings that you're making me feel
My orbits in overdrive and sigma's at the steering wheel
Linear sp, sp 2
Sp 3, bond of 109
I believe in a thing called hybrids
Just listen to the rhythm of the orbital
There's a chance we could mix it now
We'll be rocking 'til the pi bonds crowned
I believe in a thing called hybrids
Ooh!
I wanna bond every minute, every hour, every day
You've got different geometry but that's OK!
Linear sp, sp 2
Sp3, bond of 109
I Believe in a thing called hybrids
Just listen to the rhythm of the orbital
There's a chance we could mix it now
We'll be rocking 'til the pi-bonds crowned
I believe in a thing called hybrids
Ooh! O Chem!
Linear sp, sp2
Sp3, bond of 109
I Believe in a thing called hybrids
Just listen to the rhythm of the orbital
There's a chance we could mix it now
We'll be rocking 'til the pi-bonds crowned
I believe in a thing called hybrids
Ooh!
