How neat. I'm impressed... how did you come to be so blessed?

You're a star. You blaze... out like a sharp machine...

Like a whale's moan... well I'm here if that's what you want

Here we are - You're pins - I'm needles - Let's play...

Here we are - You want this? - Then come on...

Tune out everyone in the crowd because now it's just me and you

Come fall in love with the sound

Wake a pact to each other when no one's around

put the cross between me and you

Who wants to f... with us now?
