We  are the people who's come here to play
I  don't like it easy
I  don't like it the straight way
 we're in the middle of something
 we are here to stay
 and we raise our heads  for the colour red
 I'm in the first row on your show
 in the first row on the First Floor Power show
 your vibrato's like vulnerable leaves
 you do it crazy that's how you talk to me
We  are the people who's come here to play
I  don't like it easy
I  don't like it the straight way
 we're in the middle of something
 we are here to stay
 and we raise our heads  for the colour red
I  heard you
 for the first  time on the radio
 when I was going somewhere in a car
 you touched my heart
 like a knife  that's very sharp
 or like a bird
you  just set free
 that's just like  me
 when I hear  you speak
 rit.
 I like vanilla and I like sex
 I ride the pony that I like best
 I knew I knew that there was something I missed
 I was fifteen when I first got kissed
 before I knew about the equality way
 I wanted to get laid  to
 You take my breath away
 Hope you like it.
 Emanuele
