Official Lyrics

Follow you, jammin' away to anything
Just to come on, to anything
Just to believe in we're hiding - alone in the dark
GIVE ME SOME MORE
Can we believe in anything?
Why you are sad? We don't know
Sat at the door and leave us safe from the dark

Leave me alone mom....

You don't have to believe, in a color yourself
But I just saw it
Gotta keep alot of the things
Oh you know - fight the bad feeling - no fair!

If you wanted the view, then I having your fun
There's something wrong with these
So follow to me - and can do our song tonight.

I just wann' be, another song
So I don't mind that we don't talk to me
True, do you really know that song?
Hearing "okay
You are mine besides!"

Follow you, jammin' away to anything
Just to come on, to anything
Just to believe in we're hiding - alone in the dark
GIVE ME SOME MORE
Can we believe in anything?
Why you are sad? We don't know
Sat at the door and leave us safe from the dark

Leave me alone mom....
