Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Take our hands outta control
Take our hands outta control
[Verse 2]
Now tell me what you saw, tell me what you saw
There was a crowd of seeds inside, outside
I must've done a dozen each
[Verse 3]
It was the height I threw, the weight
The shell was crushing you
I've been around a few
Tell me what you saw, I'll tell you what to...
[Verse 4]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
[Verse 5]
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is
Take our hands outta control
Take our hands outta control
[Verse 6]
Outside, inside
This is a moon without the tide
We'll build a fire in your eyes, we'll build a fire
When the cover's getting brighter
Cold desire makes a mood without the tide
Tell me what you saw, I'll tell you what to...
[Verse 7]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
[Verse 8]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
