[English]

Okay, everyone, get your sunglasses out

I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

Watch you weave then breathe your story lines

I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

Keep track of the visions in my eyes

I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

See the light that's right before my eyes

...

I wear my sunglasses at night

I wear my sunglasses at night

See the light that's right before my eyes

I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

Keep track of the visions in my eyes

I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

See the light that's right before my eyes

...

I wear my sunglasses at night

Night, night, night, night, night, night, night

See the light that's right before my eyes

...
