[Verse 1]
No smoke d-d-d-detector in the venue

I baked a pie and now I'm hearing all the voices
Now I don't know the rest of this song
I'll make it up, you'll sing along stuck in our heads
Every moment always hangin' by a thread
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
No smoke d-d-d-detector
No ele-le-le-levator
No smoke d-d-d-detector
No ele-le-le-levator
Are you afraid to die?
