lyrics

Get up, get it, come on, unlock it. Get it on, get it in, come on and move in. Leave all behind and bring your camera along. Leave it all out of your mind and let’s get rollin’. You paint her skin, picture her ways and come to stay. They say: ‘What she offers you is valuable, but it’s not worth the chaos she’ll be causing. What she offers you is valuable, but beware of the damage she ‘ll do to you.’
Don’t close it, shut down and stay in your corner. She won’t lay low, relax or tend to old business. Take a train to new ground and drive ahead of time. When time begins to move again no need to look behind. You take a thousand pictures: image of the years. Sometimes you fear: ‘What she offers me is valuable, but is it worth the chaos she’s causing? What she offers me is valuable and I am well aware of the harm she can do to me.’
She never slows down on you, Never fell down to the ground or dropped you at some corner; tells you what’s right, she still wants you to do it tonight.
You say: ‘What she offers me is valuable and it’s all worth the chaos she's causing. What she offers me is valuable. We didn’t count the harm we have done to each other. What she offers me is valuable and it’s all worth the chaos we’re causing. What she has got is intangible. Now it is all possibility.
