Lyrics and translation
Original
Alone in the temple asking my heart to beat
I'm setting an example by tapping my feet
And in the crescendo notes I cannot reach
A world without windows, no method to teach
I need a better song
If I'm gonna sing
I better have a better song
For you to love me
Shaking like a rattlesnake, my maraca
Waiting for my mistakes to be forgotten
The way that my mind moves, my intention
When you hear the devil's hooves, pay attention
If they say it's good for me, I start laughing
Everything that I sing is not happening
I need a better song
If I'm gonna sing
Better have a better song
For you to love me
