Thrust of night

Slowly trembling
Trying to control the world
World spinning around

Beat Beat Beat

Staggering with power
Power of self-control
Moving from space to space trembling
trying to find the right position
Starting to fly
Thin air
Feeling the pulse rise and slowly fade away

Beat Beat Beat

Dancing on the podium on knees
trying to charm Mr Right
Trembling
Closing Eyes
Shutting down the world
Still aware of time and place
Tired
Feeling free
Needing power
Wanting help…
