Lyrics

Hotter Colder

[Verse]

Out went all the lights and up jumped all the spirits

Up jumped all the spirits, out went all the lights

Then was someone riding, riding on your shoulder

Guiding you through darkness, playing hotter colder

[Verse]

Creature in the dark, your guiding is so clumsy

Fragile sanity, you're treating us so roughly

No, I disagree, she listens as she sees

Sees you getting colder, sees you getting further

[Chorus]

Do do doo

Do do doo

Do do doo

Do do doo

[Verse]

It was your own shadow moving through the water

It was your own shadow moving through the water

Water that was dark, a darkness that got deeper

It was your own shadow moving through the water

[Chorus]

Do do doo

Do do doo

Do do doo

Do do doo

[Chorus]

Do do doo

Do do doo

Do do doo

Do do doo
