Description
It's as if someone has confused tenderness with an accident. Everything sticks - thoughts, feelings, sugar on your lips. The world inside your skull spins, buzzes, smells of gasoline and candy. It seems that happiness is just overheating, when the mind melts with pleasure and reality crunches under the wheels. I want to stay in this crazy light, where everything is too delicious to be right and too dangerous not to reach for again.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I wanna feel like this forever
In my own little world, I feel better than ever
I don't wanna leave
Is there nothing that I could tell you
To make you wanna leave?
Residence in my cranium
Washed down with something sweet
(Mm, ah-ah)
Sweet like tarmac, I'd eat that
Get your fingers out of my mouth
I like bad things I can't have
Tell me that it isn't over (ah!)
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back down
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back
Started building up this red feeling in my gut
It reminds me of the dread of the morning but
I won't feel like this forever
I'll lay down with my girl, 'til I crash from the sugar
Roadkill, tarmac, rescue me
Sweet like tarmac, I'd eat that
Get your fingers out of my mouth
I like bad things, I can't have
Tell me I can't have it, I want it more now
S-salivate and I hate that I love the taste but can't spit it out
I like bad things I can't have
Tell me that it isn't over
Tell me that it isn't over
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back down
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back down
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back down
Whatever comes up in my head, it must go back
