I promise, I promise my green and blue eyes to you
I promise, I promise my green and blue eyes to you
For you I cool the streets with the wind at night
in the day I beat with the sun the cobblestones
and cool (no idea what he sings here)
The earth I fill with diamonds plus light
to say they never ever bite
I promise...
With you God chose me his wife
Lucifer and the mother of witches
in marriage they unite
My gremlins color purple left and light
to say they never, ever bite
I promise...
with one chorus in the background.
Just play some random Fmajor scale notes and it
will sound great
I promise...
May 9th, 1976 Satan's came to earth view May 9th
gremlins have pictures
of the anniversary of Christ
The square root of zero, something smaller than zero
which keeps getting smaller
keep you out of sight and soul.
I promise...
Short solo here again, just do the same thing
as mentioned before
I promise...
