|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''

We start to shake, we feel the change from the inside

We concentrate, we shoot the stars after midnight

Back to the park once again (in a go-go land?)

(Cheap swing?) at the talking kings once again (and the downdeep blast?)

Lookin' for a new example

We know we cannot change the world

The walls outside can tumble, but I

I don't think we care

'''(Chorus)'''

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night)

Everybody's waiting for the countdown (at night)

'''(Verse 2)'''

Spin out, the party boys again

Like a team, we play the scene again

Following the active pressure

Dancing in the jagged light 

Pretty, pretty (portion?), with a

Synthetic mind

I get confused

'''(Chorus)'''

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night)

Everybody's waiting for the countdown

'''(Bridge)'''

Waiting, waiting...

Waiting, waiting

Waiting

'''(Chorus)'''

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd

Everyone is waiting for the countdown

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd

Everyone is waiting for the countdown

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd

Everyone is waiting for the countdown

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd

Everyone is waiting for the countdown

Everybody's looking for the in-crowd
