The World Is Yours
I Heart Sharks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In hidden places,
beneath the searchlights,
we do our waltz,
for just tonight.

He sings lovesongs on a Casio.
He sings lovesongs on a Casio.
A thousand faces,
the Berlin twilight,
forget the wall,
for just tonight.

He sings lovesongs on a Casio.
He sings lovesongs on a Casio.

We'll find a place and make love to the sound.
We're the stars, we're the stars tonight.





He sings lovesongs on a Casio.
He sings lovesongs on a Casio.
