Lyrics
| 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 |
