Hey!
Hey!
Got these new bones
We're painting them shades of gol-ol-ol-ol-old (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohh)
We illuminate
No, we won't stop until we glow-ow-ow-ow-oww (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohh)

They'll see a spark, so bright
Like a platinum sea of stars
Hear us dreaming louder
Than the crash, boom, beat of our hearts
Hey!

Cut from diamonds, we are giants
Living like we'll never get too old
We're on fire, that's how we like it
Show the world just how we're shining, oh
Make 'em see our colors explode
Yeah yeah, ohh
Yeah yeah, ohh
We're ultraviolet
We resonate like an e-e-e-e-echo (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohh)
Tell the universe
We're the kids that can't be stopped
Oh no-oo-o-o-ooo (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohh)
Cut from diamonds, we are giants
Living like we'll never get too old
We're on fire, that's how we like it
Show the world just how we're shining, oh
Make 'em see our colors explode
Yeah yeah, ohh
Yeah yeah, ohh

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

They'll see a spark, so bright
Like a platinum sea of stars
Hear us dreaming louder
Than the crash, boom, beat of our hearts
Hey!

Cut from diamonds, we are giants
Living like we'll never get too old
We're on fire, that's how we like it
Show the world just how we're shining, oh
Make 'em see our colors explode
Yeah yeah, ohh
Yeah yeah, ohh
Yeah yeah, ohh




Make 'em see our colors explode
Hey!
