[edit] Lyrics

As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won't do

And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up
I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground

As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you

Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
As soon as I get my head around you
