Hot summernight
Party in the streets
And a lot of folks
Ev'rybody's pleased
With wine, woman & song

But the mood is skilled
A young man appears
He's got a bloody face
People are cheatin'
Don't know what's going on

Sensation to the people
Sensation in their mind
Sensation-live & bloody
Sensation makes 'em blind!

Striking himself
Again and again
It seems insane
Something inside
And too much wine made him stray
So he breaks down in the street
The crowd gazin' with
Silly views
And the following day
They got a great story to tell

Sensation to the people
Sensation in their mind
Sensation-live & bloody
Sensation makes 'em blind!

Hate the people
Hate their lies
Wonder why they can as cold as ice
It's a sensation to me!
Hate their pride
Hate their greed
Sometimes I wonder if we are a devil's breed- it's a sensation to me
