In the spiral cities let's get lost 'cause
We can't be stopped
[Reprise]
Senses are blowing up miles high
Get mixed up, get danger, mesmerized in the scattered tribes
[Chorus]
On the vertical streets we go up, up, up, up
With our eyes set to the glow of love, love, up, up
In the spiral cities let's get lost 'cause
We can't be stopped
[Outro]
In the spiral cities, we go up, up, up, up
