Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Face to face
  • Sadly solitude
  • And it's finger popping
  • 24 hours shopping in rapture

Echo the hook

  • Sure shot
  • Go out to the parking lot
  • And you get in your car and drive real far
  • And you drive all night and then you see a light
don'tmarseatin'
