S-L-A-Y
S-L-A-Y
Welcome to the part of the show
Where we fake it 'til we make it, oh
Living in the shadow is cold
Want the hot light of the spotlight
'Cause I close my eyes and dream in technicolor
I'm not the only one (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm reaching for the glory from the gutter
Let's show them how it's done
Come on everybody, let's go
We can do anything
It don't matter what people think
We'll keep slaying it every single time
Come on everybody, let's go
Baby, we're bright as gold
It don't matter what you've been told
We'll keep slaying it 'til the day we die
Come on everybody let's
S-L-A-Y
S-L-A-Y
Once upon a time you believed in tomorrow
In the cosmos, oh
But then you didn't land on your feet
In the jungle, better hustle
'Cause I close my eyes and dream in technicolor
I'm not the only one (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm reaching for the glory from the gutter
Let's show them how it's done
Come on everybody, let's go
We can do anything
It don't matter what people think
We'll keep slaying it every single time
Come on everybody, let's go
Baby, we're bright as gold
It don't matter what you've been told
We'll keep slaying it 'til the day we die
Come on everybody let's
S-L-A-Y
S-L-A-Y
Tonight you and I
We can shine like razor blades
Light 'em up and blow 'em away
That's right, you and I
We'll forget our yesterdays
Light 'em up and blow 'em away, oh I
We can do anything
It don't matter what people think
We'll keep slaying it every single time (yeah)
Come on everybody, let's go
Baby, we're bright as gold (oh-oh)
It don't matter what you've been told (oh)
We'll keep slaying it 'til the day we die (we'll keep slaying it 'til the day we die)
Tonight you and I (oh)
We can shine like razor blades (oh)
Light 'em up and blow 'em away (light 'em up and blow 'em away)
That's right, you and I (S-L-A-Y)
We'll forget our yesterdays (S-L-A-Y)
Light 'em up and blow 'em away, oh I
