[English]

I'm at the party minibar

Came here alone, bet you can't tell

I'll eat the cake and the caviar

Break down the door like a bombshell

I'll start the bit then I'll take it too far

Might second-guess it, but oh well

I'm with the girls and the gossipers

Oh, and they're loud, I'm mellow

And I'm gone, but hello

Pedal to the metal

Think I'm high, and everybody knows

But I'm always subtle when I'm causing trouble

Hate to burst your bubble

I feel weird, I think I'm gonna go

I'm at the corner minimart

Got fifty bucks and a brain cell

Somеone perceived me, kinda scarred

Left empty-handed, but oh well

I took the train and I took it too far

Past my house and the motel

I miss the girls and the gossipers

Oh, and they're loud, I'm mellow

And I'm gone, but hello

Pedal to the metal

Think I'm high, and everybody knows

But I'm always subtle when I'm causing trouble

Hate to burst your bubble

I feel weird, I think I'm gonna go

I'm at, at the party

Is it just me, or do you feel insane?

Someone's looking lonely

Looking like me, I think I know her name

I'm at, at the party

Is it just me, or do you feel insane?

Someone's looking lonely

Looking like me, I think I know her

And they're loud, I'm mellow

And I'm gone, but hello

Pedal to the metal

Think I'm high, and everybody knows

But I'm always subtle when I'm causing trouble

Hate to burst your bubble

I feel weird, I think I'm gonna go
