  • I wanted out of the biblical bets
    Oblique city, credentials
    It's everything that I've ever known
    Coca-Cola's Rosetta Stone

    Atlantis if I really find it
    Velocity, potentially
    Not the logic of the momentum
    It's way more than tragic

    I never knew what to do
    To show you better than lonely

    Am I gonna do this alone?
    They're fifty thousand versus one
    Am I gonna do it all?
    Am I gonna do this alone?
    Or will you join me versus wrong
    Come on, come out and get me

    I wanted odd, it was even and planned
    Oblique city, potential
    She's everything that I've ever won
    Who wants the bronze, the silver, the gold?

    Atlantis if I really find it
    Complexity, essentially,
    Not the logic of the momentum
    It's way more than tragic

    I never knew what to do
    To show you better than lonely

    Am I gonna do this alone?
    They're fifty thousand versus one
    Am I gonna do it all?
    Am I gonna do this alone?
    Or will you join me versus wrong
    Come on, come out and get me

    Coca-Cola beaten-up bottles
    Is there anything lost
    Is there anything wrong with me?
    Buried Mayan numerals
    Is there anything else
    Is there anything more for me?
    Or anything else for me Writer/s: CHRISTIAN MAZZALAI, FREDERIC MOULIN, LAURENT MAZZALAI, THOMAS CROQUET
