[English]

Yeah, Simon says

Hurry up, there are flat hoops everywhere

In the paused moment, I aim at you and shoot

Hands up, turn around

Hands up, shake it

Even if I'm out of breath, I keep running here

Why are you just standing there, being cautious?

Staring blankly

Why do you look so scared?

This is what I want

Chant the spell, God

Chant the spell, I'm God (yeah)

I mesmerize you like wow (flippin')

NCT, we all so sexy (I know this)

NCT noise, you can't break me (yeah)

Who is cursing me, who

Bless me, achoo

Simon says "be cool"

"Don't be such a fool" (nah)

Simon says we are real vibe killers (killer killer killer)

Simon says we are real vibe killers (killer killer killer)

You all are mine mine mine mine mine

You all are mine mine mine mine mine

I don't need that kind of talk talk talk talk talk

We don't pay no mind mind mind mind mind

Through the traffic jam (no)

The siren opens the way

Running through the congestion in your heart all night (that was nice)

Faster than anyone (yeah)

Everyone is behind me (ooh)

Nothing can stop me, everything depends on me (eh)

The atmosphere is getting high high high high

The sounds that block us are bye bye bye bye

Forget all your worries and play all night (yeah you know this)

I don't care what anyone says

Chant the spell, I'm God

I mesmerize you like wow

NCT, we all so sexy (yeah)

NCT noise, you can't break me

Who is cursing me, who

Bless me, achoo

Simon says "be cool"

"Don't be such a fool"

Simon says we are real vibe killers (you think you know it all)

Simon says we are real vibe killers (killer killer killer)

You all are mine mine mine mine mine

You all are mine mine mine mine mine

I don't need that kind of talk talk talk talk talk

We don't pay no mind mind mind mind mind

Don't be afraid (don't tell me)

The only thing blocking you is you, yeah

Don't be delusional (don't be afraid)

Today we break the rules

Open your eyes and wake up in this moment

Deeply falling into it

Between reality and dreams

The moment you find your true self (can't burn me)

Simon says we are real vibe killers (ay, real vibe killer)

Simon says we are real vibe killers (ay, real vibe killer)

You all are mine mine mine mine mine

You all are mine mine mine mine mine

I don't need that kind of talk talk talk talk talk

We don't pay no mind mind mind...

We don't pay no attention

...

Yeah, Simon says

Hurry up 거리에 널린 a flat hoop들

멈춘 순간 널 향해 조준 다 쏜다

Hands up 뒤돌아

Hands up 흔들어

숨이 가득 차도 여기 법 계속 달려

왜 또 눈치만 보고 서있나

우두커니 (커니)

꽉 막힌 차 사이로 (no)

길을 여는 siren

네 마음에 그 체증을 밤새 뚫고 달려 (that was nice)

누구보다 빨라 (yeah)

전부 뒤에 가 있어 (ooh)

거침없어 모든 건 내게 달려 (eh)

점점 분위기는 high high high high
