Flash Splash

We the one you crave

Got your mind in a moment We came back

Whatever I do, I look so weird

What’s doing, hey? (Yeah)

Just being there (Pass it)

Eyes that seem to push me away

Just a stranger (What?)

I’m who I am

Hey, don’t worry, everything has something

No one understands

You don’t know, You don’t know

I'm fighting and illuminating this moment

If there’s nowhere I fit in

I’ll find it myself

Ready, IS:SUE is coming to you now

You know I’m a Flash Girl

Flash Splash - let’s call it fate

Flash Splash - image only IS:SUE can show

Flash Splash - break the ordinary

If you’re curious, will you come with us?

Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls

Flash Splash

Just a tick, I’m there

Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls

Break it out - going beyond the norm

Walking the runway with an unwavering real style

I can choose any rule and break away from it

Ready set and go

I’m gon never lose yeah

Together, we are the strongest We turned our tears into medals

It’s okay to be weird

Because I'm the only one who can determine

The values in my life

You know I’m a Flash Girl

Flash Splash - let’s call it fate

Flash Splash - image only IS:SUE can show

Flash Splash - break the ordinary

If you’re curious, will you come with us?

All my life is like a runway

I want every wish to come true

I don’t mind being greedy

Now, I’m moving the crowd, yeah

Step on my beat, Imma? (You know I’m a Flash Girl)

Check, I’m so lit, Imma? (You know I’m a Flash Girl)

Step on my beat, Imma? (You know I’m a Flash Girl)

Check, I’m so lit, Imma

You know I’m a Flash

You know I’m a Flash Girl

Flash Girls in the building See my silhouette

Flash Girls on the mission Catch up to my pace (My pace)

Who you chasing now (What?)

Who you chasing now (What?)

We Welcome the Strangers (Okay)

IS:SUE is on the way

Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls

Flash Splash

Just a tick, I’m there

Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls

Break it out - going beyond the norm
