The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Please come tempt me,
you've got something
good in mind.
Dropped everything glad to be
persuade this time.
Into the car baby bleed the gas,
fast as fast, never turning back.
Oh yeah, not scared of that,
the past has passed and we cannot take it back.
They want to know
if we could get away.
Yeah we backed it up
and made our great escape.
When the dust will settle
and they'll discover
the furthest exodus getting somewhere.
While the messengers
get the message in,
try to capture us
we've done nothing wrong.
Please come tempt me
steal me from this priss-teen life.
Oh so gently
everyone feels pain this time.
Into the car baby bleed the gas,
fast as fast, never turning back.
Oh yeah, not scared of that,
the past has passed and we cannot take it back.
They want to know
if we could get away.
Yeah we backed it up
and made our great escape.
When the dust will settle
and they'll discover
the furthest exodus getting somewhere.
While the messengers
get the message in,
try to capture us
we've done nothing wrong.
And she wants me,
and she needs me
and can have me all of the time
And she wants me and she needs me,
circle circle dot dot dot.
They want to know
if we could get away.
Yeah we backed it up
and made our great escape.
When the dust will settle
and they'll discover
the furthest exodus getting somewhere.
While the messengers
get the message in,
try to capture us
we've done nothing wrong.
