[English]

yeah you got me going…

hmm mmm

Open it up and it's all pandora, all the same

When there's no way out, I catch the midnight train

A familiar aroma

Memories pried open, believe that

Continuously gathering into a circle of light

No escape from this stage's key

oh, why not just jump down

oh sweet surrender

mmmmmm mmmmm

ooh way you freaky freaky

ooh way you leaky leaky

mmmmm (freaky leaky)

A careless plan, can't find the exit

let me surrender der der der

Wanting to imprison you, I'm at my wit's end

Wanting to break free from the cage, mmm

uh uh uh, the voice close to my ear

Forgotten broken toys

To avoid listening, I'mma make a noise

going crazy now yeah

Be a little forgiving, forgive all

Sorry I got a duty call

Even if I board the ship of time

There are no answers

no need to fight for both sides, make it right

Come and taste this

sweet surrender

mmmmmm mmmmm

ooh way you freaky freaky

ooh way you leaky leaky

mmmmm (freaky leaky)

A careless plan, can't find the exit

let me surrender der der der

Wanting to imprison you, I'm at my wit's end

Wanting to break free from the cage, mmm

better think twice

you better think twice

better think twice uh uh uh

Groping to grab the door

to the hell or heaven?

Now = future = past

oh, why not just jump down

oh sweet surrender

mmmmmm mmmmm

ooh way you freaky freaky

ooh way you leaky leaky

mmmmm (freaky leaky)

A careless plan, can't find the exit

let me surrender der der der

Wanting to imprison you, I'm at my wit's end

Wanting to break free from the cage, mmm

ooh way you freaky freaky

ooh way you leaky leaky

I’m waving a white flag for you & me

to start something new

and that something must be so sweet

just taste it

[Chinese]

yeah you got me going…

hmm mmm

打开一看 都是pandora all the same

走投无路之际搭上 midnight train

似曾相识的aroma

被撬开的记忆 believe that

不断汇聚成圆圈的光芒

无处可逃这舞台的key

oh 不如跳下去算了

oh sweet surrender

mmmmmm mmmmm

ooh way you freaky freaky

ooh way you leaky leaky

mmmmm (freaky leaky)

漫不经心的plan 找不到出口

想要将你囚禁 我已束手无策

想要冲破牢笼 mmm

被遗忘的 broken toys

为了不去听 Imma make a noise

going crazy now yeah

宽容一点 forgive all

Sorry I got a duty call

就算搭上时光之船
