Lyrics

Hysteric

No longer no longer
What you ask
Strange steps
Heels turned black
The cinders the cinders
They light the path
Of these strange steps
Take us back, take us back
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Oh oh hey
Oh oh hey
Hysteric
Oh oh hey
Oh oh hey
Hysterical
No wonder no wonder,
Other half, strange steps
Heels turned black.
The cinders they splinter
And light the path
These strange steps
Trace us back trace us back
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Hysteric [Repeats]
Hysterical.
