Last night
She brought me to
The state of mind
In an empty room

White light
The kiss of life
A and E
On a Saturday night

You count stars
In green and blue
Have dreams
Stuffed with things you knew

It's too late
Can't you see
You're sweet
And love's got a hold on me
So come on

Don't stop, and don't look back
'Cause your love's like a heart attack
Come on

So late
Hard and cold
Sweet love, how you suffer so
Pink moon, colours you
Shot down but I feel for you
So come on

Don't stop, and don't look back
'Cause your love's like a heart attack
Come on
I can't stop, no I can't turn back
Feel your love like a heart attack
Come on

Don't stop, and don't look back
'Cause your love's like a heart attack
Come on
I can't stop, I can't turn back
Feel your love like a heart attack
Come on
