[English]

Come with me

I hear a voice in the back of the bar on a Saturday

Stranger, or danger, or angel? I don't know anyway

But I take a chance on a good night a good time any day

Yeah

So l sit shot gun in a Chevrolet

Headin' to a different type of ballet

Where the girls all smell like creme brulée

(And the champagne's free if you pay to play)

Where the boys post up and they spend a wage

Of a hard week's work on a fantasy

Where the dream don't die and you can escape, yeah

Forever and ever

Fly with your tainted wings of a dove

Give into sin and stay fallin' up

Whatever you do don't go fallin' in love

Dancin' to disco at the strip club

Disco

Action

What's your name?

To hell with it, baby, tomorrow I won't know anyway

I'm good unattached, I rest easy, relaxed when the company

Is gone by the morning cause we know that love ain't a winnin' game

Yeah

So l sit shot gun in a Chevrolet

Headin' to a different type of ballet

Where the girls all smell like creme brulée

(And the champagne's free if you pay to play)

Where the boys post up and they spend a wage

Of a hard week's work on a fantasy

Where the dream don't die and you can escape, yeah

Forever and ever

Fly with your tainted wings of a dove

Give into sin and stay fallin' up

Whatever you do don't go fallin' in love

Dancin' to disco at the strip club

Disco
