Lyrics
You won’t get much closer
Until you sacrifice it all You won’t get to taste it With your face against the wall
Get up and commit Show the power trapped within Do just what you want to Now stand up and begin
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes And this chaos it defies imagination 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You've arrived at panic station
Doubts will try to break you Unleash your heart and soul Trouble will surround you Start taking some control
Stand up and deliver Your wildest fantasy Do what the fuck you want to There’s no one to appease
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes And this chaos it defies imagination 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You've arrived at panic station
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes, And this chaos it defies imagination. 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives And I know that you will fight for the duration Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes And you know I'm not resisting your temptations 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You've arrived at panic station
