[English]

Take no pri-

-soners for me

I'm told you're ele-

-vating

Drinks go straight to my knees

I'm sold, I'm going on clean

I'm going on clean

I've no more tricks up my sleeve

Game called

"Re-

-view the player"

Time codes and Tokyo scenes

Bad boys

It's complicated

It's best you know what you don't

Aperture lets the light in

We belong together

It finally appears it's only love

We belong together

In no good state to receive

Go forth

Ask questions later

Trap doors, you're toying with me

Dance halls

Another cadence

...

It's best you know what you don't

Aperture lets the light in

...

I won't stray from it

I don't know these spaces

Time won't wait on me

I wanna know what safe is
