[English]

Baby, I might be goin' crazy

Maybe I am a little lately

Hell, I'd rather be crazy and naked in the sky gettin' high with you, mm-mm

I don't need no sanity, take it

If you think you can handle me, baby

I'll take all my knives that I got, and I'll put 'em in a box for you, mm-mm

Talk bad if you wanna, my dear

We're never gettin' out of here

Tell me what I wanna hear

That everything is better when it hurts

And it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse

My mind, my body in the sky

Ain't seen my clothes in quite a while

I'll find 'em when I hit the earth

No, it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse

I'm fallin' for you every time

I tuck my wings and take the dive

I think I wanna let it hurt

No, it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse

You know what I want, so why you waitin'? Give it to me, baby

It gets even better when I know it's bad for me, baby

Take your hands off that wheel and put 'em where they should be, baby

I like how it is, baby, don't care what it could be, baby

Talk bad if you wanna, my dear

We're never gettin' out of here

Tell me what I wanna hear

That everything is better when it hurts

And it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse

My mind, my body in the sky

Ain't seen my clothes in quite a while

I'll find 'em when I hit the earth

No, it couldn't be, couldn't be, could be, couldn't be worse

I'm fallin' for you every time

I tuck my wings and take the dive

I think I wanna let it hurt

No, it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse

No, it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse

No, it couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be worse
