I'll make your eyes turn yellow
Make your skin turn blue
Picture me under blood red moon

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
That you're all I see
I know, I know, I know
Picture me under blood red moon
I'll make your eyes turn yellow
Make your skin turn blue
Picture me under blood red moon
I'll make your eyes go yellow
Make your skin turn blue
I know, I know, I know
