Steve McQueen
M83 · Hurry Up, We're Dreaming [2011]
Driven by big waves of fire.
To run and yell all the way.
Nothing can hurt me today.
There's a magic inside.
Just waiting to burst out.
The world is a goldmine.
That will melt tomorrow.
I just can't recognize myself.
Tears of joy run all over my face.
My sensations reach the limit.
Nothing can hurt me today.
There's a magic inside.
Just waiting to burst out.
There world is a goldmine.
That will melt tomorrow.
Living for, living for a thrill...
Just waiting! Just waiting!
Just waiting! Just waiting!
Just waiting! Just waiting!
Just waiting! Just waiting!
Just waiting! Just waiting!
