(Doncamatic)

Download me

Make up for the time you've wasted

Come slowly

And claim back the boy you left behind

Close the white book

Unplug the brain from the game

'Cause it's time to wipe out

To the stars, get on the fame

The song is not the same when we're

All played out, played out, all played out

They said the memories all

Fade out, fade out, all played out

Tell me did you feel that?

...

Don't slow down

Even if it's only to escape

Just download, now

Before somebody steals your place, man

Close the white book

Unplug the brain from the game

'Cause it's time to wipe out

To the stars, get on the fame

And the conversation's over

We're all played out, played out, all played out

(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

You see the memories all fade out

Fade out, all played out

(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

Tell me did you feel that?

(Doncamatic)

Download me

Make up for the time you've wasted

Come slowly

Claim back the boy you left behind and

Close the white book

Unplug the brain from the game

It's time to wipe out

To the bar, get on the fame

The song is not the same when we're

All played out, played out, all played out

(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

You see the memories all fade out

Fade out, all played out

(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

The song is not the same when we're all

Played out, played out, played tonight

(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

The song is not the same when we're all played out

Played out, played out, played out, played out

(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

Tell me did you feel that?
