lyrics
golden, candy cigarettes
doe-eyed girls, forever young and blessed
diamonds, help you to forget,
diamonds, ringing in your head
bright lights
bright lights, the stars in your eyes, spin
dance for me, crystal queen
we live and we die in a dream
all you want, all you need
all you want, all you need
blood-red, snakes around your neck
demi-gods, sex and violence
diamonds, help you to forget
diamonds, ringing in your head
bright lights
bright lights, the stars in your eyes, spin
dance for me, crystal queen
we live and we die in a dream
all you want, all you need
all you want, all you need
all you want, all you need
(bright lights, the stars in your eyes, spin)
all you want
all you need
(we live and we die in the dream)
all you want
all you need
(bright lights, the stars in your eyes, spin)
all you want
all you need
(we live and we die in the dream)
