  • I look at the sunrise
    I look at it earn
    I look into your eyes
    Don't know where to turn
    I'm gonna drift into that void
    I'm flying through space
    I'm an asteroid
    I'm dancing that place when you're paranoid
    I'm thinking about you and nothing else
    Think about you, you think about me
    Think about you, counting the beat
    Thinking about you, thinking about me
    Thinking about just you and me
    La-dah-da-de, there ain't no place I'd rather be
    La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da...
    [12]
    I'm bleeding to death
    On the cloudiest day
    Three-four-five beat
    A-waltzing away
    I'm counting the beat, two-three-four-five
    I'm feeling the heat, glad to be alive
    I'm counting the beat, six-seven-eight-nine
    I'm wishing that you, that you were mine
    Think about you, you think about me
    Think about you, counting the beat
    Thinking about you, thinking about me
    Thinking about you, thinking about me
    Thinking about you ?
    Think about, just you and me
    La-dah-da-de, there ain't no place I'd rather be
    La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da...
    [36]
