I don't want to dance to your nostalgia
In your crowded sweaty rooms
But I’m moving to the music with your dying bodies
That I will one day own
It's just another phase of evolution
Albeit in the wrong direction
Those disco lights are always twice as bright
As the people in the room
And I'm gonna die of heat exhaustion
Unless I take this jacket off
But I feel safe inside, it's not that hot in here
I swear I normally sweat this much
And please won't you
Give me another chance dear
I won’t mess things up this time
I’m gonna prove to you, that I can do normal
Did I embarrass you too much?
And it's gonna take another litre
Before my guard is on the pavement
Well these cobbled streets spell another defeat
Perhaps I should just go home
And I always was the death of the party
Even those that were held for me
I feel that sometimes I might not be alright
Do you ever feel the same?
And I'm gonna die of heat exhaustion
Unless I take this jacket off
But I feel safe inside, it's not that hot in here
I swear I normally sweat this much
And please don’t listen to me
When I make suggestions
‘Cause things can only turn out for the worst
And please don’t tell me
That this bridge can open up
I don’t want to fall into the dark
Water!
Surrounds me and a ship is sailing past
Another night spent soaking in the harbour
And I don't have to explain anything to you
But to tell you the truth
I’m having a really good time
But I'm gonna die of heat exhaustion
Unless I take this jacket off
But I feel safe inside, it's not that hot in here
I swear I normally sweat this much
And please won't you
Give me another chance dear
I won’t mess things up this time
I’m gonna prove to you, that I can do normal
Did I embarrass you too much?
And I’m gonna die of heat exhaustion
Unless I take this jacket off
But I’m not going to do that
On my knees, this is what I look like apologizing
Won't you give me another chance dear
I won’t mess things up this time
I’m gonna prove to you, that I can do normal
Did I embarrass you too much?
