Sample Lyrics
- Future needs a big kiss
- Winds blow with a twist
- Never seen a move like this
- Can you see it too
- Night is falling everywhere
- Rockets hit the funfair
- Satan loves a bomb scare
- But it won't scare you
- Sexy boots
- Get on your boots
- Yeah
- Free me from the dark dream
- Candy bars, ice cream
- All the kids are screaming but the ghosts aren’t real
- Here's what you gotta be
- Love & community
- Laughter is eternity if the joy is real
