Go and close the curtains - its getting too bright.
We need some music.
Lets stay up all night.
Put the lights back on - I cant see your face.
Can you feel it?
Its going some pace.s
No inhibitions, we could still have some more so pass me my jeans from your side of the floor.
No plans for tomorrow - leave the day free.
Just waste it in bed, waste it with me.
