[Verse 1: Huening Kai, Soobin]
Lie, lie, lie, lie down
Go rest your eyes
Just fall asleep, sweet dreams
You can't get off the ride
A wolf in sheep clothes
His disguise
In the ni-ni-ni-night
You'll be hiding inside
[Refrain: Yeonjun, Taehyun]
Oh, what ya doing?
You got some time today?
Oh, what a nuisance
Come, come, come out to play
[Pre-Chorus: Beomgyu, Taehyun]
High, so high, the crimson sky
It's way too sweet to turn down
I scream and shout, but no one's 'round
There's no way to escape it
[Chorus: Soobin, Taehyun]
I met the devil by the window
Traded my life
Temptation touched my tongue
Spread the wings of desire
He's whispering
"Give up, don't you put up a fight"
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night"
[Post-Chorus: Huening Kai, Beomgyu]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night"
[Verse 2: Yeonjun, Beomgyu]
Waste, waste away
In the gutter with me
No, I can't tell what is fake
In my reality
I see the waves, see the waves
Wash over me
Oh, stay, you can stay
When you're tempted to leave
[Refrain: Yeonjun, Huening Kai]
Oh, what ya doing?
You got some time today?
Oh, what a nuisance
Come, come, come out to play
[Pre-Chorus: Soobin, Taehyun]
High, so high, the crimson sky
It's way too sweet to turn down
I scream and shout, but no one's 'round
There's no way to escape it
[Chorus: Yeonjun, Huening Kai]
I met the devil by the window
Traded my life
Temptation touched my tongue
Spread the wings of desire
He's whispering
"Give up, don't you put up a fight"
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night"
[Post-Chorus: Taehyun, Beomgyu]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night"
[Interlude: Beomgyu, Soobin, Yeonjun, Huening Kai]
Devil, de-devil, devil
Devil, de-devil (Oh, I met the)
Devil, de-devil, devil (Oh)
Come here, come here, good night
[Outro: Taehyun, Soobin, Yeonjun, Huening Kai]
High, high, high
I feel my body drifting into the sky
I won't come down, come down, come down, I'll fly
Weightless without a worry into the night
He said, "Dream on, dream on, dream on"
