This verse is carried out the EXACT same way as the first one.
Very stupid like I told ya, very stupid like ya saw
Very stupid as the simple thought of ever thinking at
all
And all the mind, all the soul, all the body,
all we know, all the things that should have made us
whole
All the colourless security was only so we could go
and move, move
Sex beat, drop
And yes you do look cool and by the floodlights so
blue
You make my tropical apartment bed, your sacrificial
pool
My body in the water and my heart is in your hand
So this is the way you choose to send me to the
judgement land
So you can't move, move oohh..sex beat, go
And every day at three you throw me down by the
christmas tree
I watched your lights blink on and off while you start
your fun with me
I, I know your reasons and I, I know your goals
We can fuck forever but you will never get my soul
so you can move
so you can move
so you can move
so you can move so you can
oohh... Sex beat
