Lyrics

Vital

Vital, vital, vital

Vital, vital, vital

Died by the stairs

He’s the man who, ...together in space

Searching my soul...

Breaking it all forever in me

By the boat, by the boat ...this far away

Follow this ... lead, I pray

Vital, vital, vital

Vital, vital, vital

He’s the man who, ...together in space

Searching my soul...

Breaking it all forever in me

By the boat, by the boat ...this far away

Follow this ... lead, I pray
