Distraction by The Nostalgia Critic Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Lindsay Ellis:]
There's a fire going on
But the party's just begun
So keep your focus looking at me tonight
So the world's about to end
Gonna party with my friends
And ain't nobody gonna say it's not right
And I know
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
No matter the people may say
Just don't turn around and keep looking straight
And I see
Everybody's starting to yell
How the world around you's going to Hell
I'm here to tell you all it's just fate
[Chorus – Lindsay:]
I'm a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
Keep your eyes all on me
For what you're gonna see
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction
Ready for action
So the world's gonna blow
Stop complaining and go
To the show...
[Verse 2]
(Lindsay singing:)
There's explosions in the sky
And the neighborhood is fried
But you don’t have join them in all the fuss
Act like nothing's going wrong
And just keep playing my song
Until there's nothing left around here but us
(Doug Walker singing:)
And I know
Something's gonna happen tonight
All the stars around us start taking flight
But there's something that invites me to stay
'Cos I'm drawn
To the rhythm of the music they play
And we're all gonna die anyway
So enjoy it while you can
Come what may
[Chorus – Lindsay and Doug:]
We're a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
There's a war going on
But in here we've all won
'Cos nobody is slowing the traction
Take a step
Come inside
Buy a stub
Ride the ride of your life!
[Bridge – Doug:]
Nothing ever
Will come from saying never
So join the fun where ever it is
There's a power
That's growing by the hour
I'm positive I don’t want to miss
I'm a distraction…
[Chorus]
(Lindsay and Doug singing:)
We're a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
Keep your eyes all on me
For what you're gonna see
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction
And I'm ready for action
(Lindsay only:)
So the world's gonna blow
Stop complaining and go
Just start watching the show
Cause there's no more to know
Here we go!
(Doug:) I'm a distraction!
(Lindsay:) He's a distraction!
(Lindsay and Doug:) We're a distraction!
(Kyle Kallgren:) We're a distraction!
There's a fire going on
But the party's just begun
So keep your focus looking at me tonight
So the world's about to end
Gonna party with my friends
And ain't nobody gonna say it's not right
And I know
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
No matter the people may say
Just don't turn around and keep looking straight
And I see
Everybody's starting to yell
How the world around you's going to Hell
I'm here to tell you all it's just fate
[Chorus – Lindsay:]
I'm a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
Keep your eyes all on me
For what you're gonna see
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction
Ready for action
So the world's gonna blow
Stop complaining and go
To the show...
