drug and seduce me, ain't no tomorrow
Not guilty of thinking but guilty of letting go.
Letting go go go go gooo!
Turn the lights down low! Down low! X2
Truth out of my eyes, like pouring rain.
The night it will gift us a fairytale.
And tell us so so so so soooo.
Turn the lights down low! Down low. X4
Eyes wide / open / for the nig-ht make me blind turn off the lights.
(Turn the lights) down low! Down low. X2
Turn the lights down low! Down low. X4
Turn the lights down low! Down low. X2
Turn the lights down low! Down low.
Turn the lights down low, Doooowwwwnnnnnn
