[English]

The Chase...

Is Better that the catch

Transforming the tunes

We need your support

If you got the breath back

It`s the first page of the second chapter!

Hold you back for the rhytm attack

coming down on the floor like a maniac

Hold you back for the rhytm attack

Get Down in full effect!

Hold you back for the rhytm attack

coming down on the floor like a maniac

Let`s get into this

By the way how much is the fish!!

How much is the fish!!

Here we go here we go again

Yeah!

Sunshine in the air

We`re breaking the rules

Ignore the machine

You won`t ever stop this

The chase...

is better than the catch

Hold you back for the rhytm attack

Coming diwn on the floor like a maniac

Hold you back for the rhytm attack

Get down in full effect

Hold you back for the rhytm attack

Coming diwn on the floor like a maniac

Let`s get into this

By the way how much is the fish?

How much is the fish?

Sunshine in the air!!

C`mon

Nananananananananaaa...

Everybody!

Together...

Resurrection
