[Refrain 1]
Complex priestess, come down
Contact, reach us, go wild
[Verse 1]

[Refrain 2]
Come down, teach us the ropes
Your concept, it keeps us provoked
[Chorus]
Remove your veil
Let me light you up
I'm on your team, let's go
[Verse 2]

[Refrain 1]
Complex priestess, come down
Now contact, reach us, go wild
[Chorus]
Remove your veil
Let me light you up
I'm on your team

[Post-Chorus]
The rocket's taking off
To-tonight, it's time
[Outro]
Take me!
I'll light you up!
Take me, up!
