  • Suddenly she lost control of the world
    A fire burnt and the chaos unfurled
    A transcendent sudden invitation to the zero hour
    She gave in to the temptation
    High on curiosity, high on power

    But this girl refused to die
    So she drank the milk of life
    Was it the moon and the changing tide?

    Yeah, this girl refused to die
    So she drank the milk of life
    Felt like the start of the ninth life

    To you feel pleasure again
    To you feel love
    Adventurous and sensuous
    As high as the planes above

    Don't wait with bated breath
    For this to all turn sour
    She's learnt how to say yes
    High on curiosity, high on power

    So this girl refused to cry
    But embraced her lust for light
    Was it the moon and the changing tide?

    Yeah this girl refused to cry
    But embrace her lust for life
    Eyes straight ahead and open wide Writer/s: Ellen Rowsell, Joel Donald Scott Amey, Jonathan David Oddie, Theodore Joseph Ellis
