So you fight of a thousand gangsters, ready for the world
And you hang with the stones round the world on your
Then you bought me a million diamonds, but lost them by the shore
Is it bad to believe you all look in the water
And the water loving master who feeds my every day
'Cause I need to pretend it's you and I
And I know my head is twisted but it keeps me sanitized
But I know I can keep you in my mind
Dream 'till I'm dead then set me on fire
Flames and the smoke keep taking me higher
Love and pretend we'll soon be expired
We would be not made for this world,
Not made for this world
So I tell you a little secret,
Who knew that I could fly?
I'm the queen of the world in the trees up high
And if you don't wanna come with me
You just say the word
I'll be waving them we both turn into guards
You're the water loving master who feeds my every day
'Cause I need to pretend it's you and I
And I know my head is twisted but it keeps me sanitized
But I know I can keep you in my mind
Dream 'till I'm dead then set me on fire
Flames and the smoke keep taking me higher
Love and pretend we'll soon be expired
We would be not made for this world,
Not made for this world
We got a happy place
Where nobody else can go
You and I
(X2)
Dream 'till I'm dead then set me on fire
Flames and the smoke keep taking me higher
Love and pretend we'll soon be expired
We would be not made for this world,
Not made for this world
We would be not made for this world,
Not made for this world
