[Verse 1]
Blasting, blazing
Stars exploding
A cosmic war raging in the sky
But all I could hear was your last goodbye
[Chorus 1]
Hope you'll come back again
Even though I know you are heartless
'Cause you took off my dress
And you never put it on again
[Verse 2]
It's overrated
It doesn't do it for me
I dreamt the gods descended
I dreamt that time had ended
Planets colliding
Maybe one day we'll be free
But all I ever wanted was for you to want me
[Chorus 2]
Hope you'll come back again
Even though I know you are heartless
'Cause you took off my dress
And you never put it on, oh
You never put it on
No, you never put it on again
[Instrumental interlude]
[Outro]
You won’t come back again
Even if the world should end
Still I will never let
Anybody else come in
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
