[English]

Hey, I see your face, you're up to something

You make me nervous with your love game

Drunk on your poison in my bloodline

I'll never be the same

Spinning in my room

Feeling kinda strange

Wishing I could get another taste of

No, no, no more

Yeah all I need is your poison

Paradise, paradise on my tongue

So alive that I could die game is on, oh

Hey, I see your face, you're up to something

You make me nervous with your love game

Drunk on your poison in my bloodline

I'll never be the same

Spinning in my room

Feeling kinda strange

Wishing I could get another taste of

No, no, no more

Yeah all I need is your poison

Paradise, paradise on my tongue

So alive that I could die game is on, oh

My heart is broken with my roots closed

My hands are shaking when you let go

And if it kills me, I still want you

It's torture, your touch is chemical

Spinning in my room

Feeling kinda strange

Wishing I could get another taste of

No, no, no more

Yeah all I need is your poison

Paradise, paradise on my tongue

So alive that I could die game is on, oh

I would give up heaven if I had it to

Just to get another taste of

No, no, no more

Yeah all I need is your poison

Paradise, paradise on my tongue

So alive that I could die game is on, oh
