[English]

I'm feeling faded

I'm running around and I'm stuck in the phase, yeah

Been like this lately, oh-oh

I need a doctor to give me a shot so I no longer suffer

And I need a lawyer, oh-oh

'Cause I've not been too good this time

People say I lost my mind

And I shouldn't be hanging with you

No I don't care bout what they say

That don't mean nothing to me

Nobody can do what you do

You take me even higher than I have ever been

I'm moving to your rhythm, oh, I feel it in my skin

We're never getting sober, we're always letting go

Still moving to your rhythm, it's the only thing we know

It's the only thing we know

You take me even higher than I have ever been

I'm moving to your rhythm, oh, I feel it in my skin

We're never getting sober, we're always letting go

Still moving to your rhythm, it's the only thing we know

It's the only thing we know

You're like a spider

Spinning a web that is full of your lying

I'm disqualifying you

You're just like Bonnie

And I'm just like Clyde and you know that you got me

Well maybe it might be true

'Cause I've not been too good this time

People say I lost my mind

And I shouldn't be hanging with you

No I don't care 'bout what they say

That don't mean nothing to me

Nobody can do what you do

You take me even higher than I have ever been

I'm moving to your rhythm, oh, I feel it in my skin

We're never getting sober, we're always letting go

Still moving to your rhythm, it's the only thing we know

It's the only thing we know

And I don't ever want to come back down

No I don't ever want, no I don't ever want

To come back down

'Cause you take me even higher than I have ever been

I'm moving to your rhythm, oh, I feel it in my skin

We're never getting sober, we're always letting go

Still moving to your rhythm, it's the only thing we know

You take me even higher than I have ever been

I'm moving to your rhythm, oh, I feel it in my skin

We're never getting sober, we're always letting go

Still moving to your rhythm, it's the only thing we know

It's the only thing we know
