[English]

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

You take a drug, I take a sip

I want your legendary kiss

You know I got designer taste

And your design's too good to waste

When the beast comes out at night

Yeah, it always wants a bite

And I try, try to resist

But then the devil always wins, yeah

Time, time, time

Time to close your eyes (close your eyes)

Time, time, time

Time to say goodnight (say goodnight)

I feel it coming on

You've got nowhere to run

There's no way you'll make it out alive

Oh, when it's after dark

I'm gonna eat your heart

Don't try to fight it, just close your eyes

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes

Go on and say, say your last words

Sometimes the best things kinda hurt

'Cause this is real, it's unrehearsed

My final touch, you'll feel cursed, yeah

Time, time, time

Time to close your eyes (close your eyes)

Time, time, time

Time to say goodnight (say goodnight)

I feel it coming on

You've got nowhere to run

There's no way you'll make it out alive

Oh, when it's after dark

I'm gonna eat your heart

Don't try to fight it, just close your eyes

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes

Close your eyes (close your eyes)

Close your eyes (close your eyes)

Close your eyes (close your eyes)

Close your eyes

...

Woo-ah!

...

I feel it coming on

You've got nowhere to run

There's no way you'll make it out alive

Oh, when it's after dark

I'm gonna eat your heart

Don't try to fight it, just close your eyes

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes

Close your eyes (close your eyes)

Close your eyes (close your eyes)

Close your eyes (close your eyes)

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

Close your eyes
