[English]

They live on the one hundred and thirteenth floor

It's a dark mansion, but a beautiful one

And I'm leaving the acid behind

I'm stepping into a kind of waltz

And I'm leaving the acid behind (alone)

I'm stepping into a kind of waltz (the water will pull you under)

And I'm dancing with my virginity

I wake up early and the sun is already gone

I wake up and the sun is already gone

I wake up early and the sun is already gone

I wake up and the sun is already gone

I wake up early and the sun is already gone

I wake up and the sun is already gone

I wake up early and the sun is already gone

I wake up and the sun is already gone (it's gone)

I wake up early and the sun is already gone

I wake up and the sun is already gone

I wake up early and the sun is already gone

I wake up and the sun is already gone, it's gone

[Spanish]

Vive en el piso ciento trece

Es una mansión oscura, pero hermosa

Y estoy dejando el ácido atrás

Estoy entrando en una especie de waltz

Y estoy dejando el ácido atrás (sola)

Estoy entrando en una especie de waltz (el agua te va a succionar)

Y estoy bailando con mi virginidad

Me despierto temprano y el sol ya no está

Me despierto y el sol ya no está

Me despierto temprano y el sol ya no está

Me despierto y el sol ya no está

Me despierto temprano y el sol ya no está

Me despierto y el sol ya no está

Me despierto temprano y el sol ya no está

Me despierto y el sol ya no está (ya no está)

Me despierto temprano y el sol ya no está

Me despierto y el sol ya no está

Me despierto temprano y el sol ya no está

Me despierto y el sol ya no está, no esta
