Lyrics[]
Sun flashing red and then orange, then opting for secession On the day when you come to the door with your terrible confession And I know you've come to take my toys away And I know you've come to take my toys away Skin flushing red and then glowing when you come inside And the moonlight watching all over you, I have got my mouth open wide And I know you've come to take my toys away And I know you've come to take my toys away Oh and when it drops you're gonna feel it Oh yeah Oh yeah
