Lyrics
[Verse 1] Pay your thoughts no mind in cowardly contradiction We are the meek, we are the small We are the failed that leads us blindly to have no hope at all

In ourselves, we run the risk There's only one way to make their list So I say "fuck this," I'll make my own list And we'll welcome a new today

[Chorus] So goodnight, my dear! If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears Hold through all of these years

[Interlude] (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)

[Verse 2] Pay no mind to the sign that will take you home We are immobile and overgrown There is no moving these gears So please, just leave us the hell alone!

I've been a beggar and a fool To a conscience, that beats me up with rules (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)

[Chorus] So goodnight, my dear! If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears Hold through all of these years

[Interlude] ("La la la-la, la la la-la-la-la") (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)

(So goodnight, my dear!) (If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home) (em fo ffo ti gnipeek m'I dna enecs siht gnivael dna ,hO)

[Chorus/Outro] Goodnight, my dear! If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears Hold through all of these years

Goodnight, my dear! If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) Hold through all of these years (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)

Goodnight, my dear! (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor) Hold through all of these years (Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)
