LYRICS

“It was the strangest of times
The world was down on its knees
We all got locked in a dream (a dark dream)
In the middle of the night
I took myself for a ride
I had to blow off some steam

Got overwhelmed with desire
There’s something wrong with me
Running myself into the ground
Well, I can’t stop the fire
I’m already taking the heat
I might as well just keep it on
‘Cus sooner than later I’ll be

Oh I’ll be chasing the light
and all the sparks in between
And no, I won’t need anyone
I’ll be the only one I need
Oh I’ll be wrong, you’ll be right
And it won’t matter to me
You can no longer bring me down
I’m the one who holds the key

Didn’t came here to fight
But I ain’t searching for peace
Yeah I’m the one you should fear (you should fear me)
See, in the back of my mind
The road got dark in the woods
And you’re as dead as a deer

“If we still had the time...”
Well you ain’t got the speed
To surpass my broken heart
And hell I won’t cry
I won’t shed a tear
I left the motor running
There’s this place where I need to be

I’ll be chasing the light
And all the sparks in between
And no, I won’t need anyone
I’ll be the only one I need
Between Venus and Mars
I’ll be chasing the dream
You can no longer bring me down
I’m the one who holds the key

(it’s twisting, now watch me!
It’s twisting, now watch me!)

“Hey baby, you have that sad look in your eyes. I don’t know where you came from, I don’t know where you’re going, but it doesn’t really matter. Tonight, we will be dancing. Just dance with me, c’mon. That’s right. That was definitely an e-ticket!”

Dangerous
Mysterious
Dancing and dancing
Dancing and dancing

Got overwhelmed with desire
Man, what’s wrong with me?
Running myself into the ground
Oh if I had the time
If only I had the speed
To run back into the start
To be innocent and sweet
Oh I’d be chasing the light
The first time it appeared
I’d put it into a jar
I would close that long and lost frontier
Fireflies in the garden
And all the fruit from the tree
And nothing could ever bring me down
I’m the one who holds the key

I’ll be chasing the light
and all the sparks in between
And no, I won’t need anyone
I’ll be the only one I need
Between Venus and Mars
I’ll be chasing the dream
You can no longer bring me down
I’m the one who holds the key

(it’s twisting, NOW WATCH ME!
NOW WATCH ME!
It’s twisting, now watch me)

Now I can see the whole of me, who I want to be, I cracked the puzzle

“- Have you ever been to Disneyland? That was definitely an E-Ticket!
-Roger that, Sally!”
