Lyrics:
Scream my name,
Hold your hand to the flame.
Keep it there as long as you can stand but don’t forget it’s a game.
It’s such a shame,
That you bear the blame.
But seize your opportunity to pounce and baby I’ll do the same.
Won’t you tell me all your secrets about,
How you exploit their weakness,
I think you’re a fucken genius, uh, uh
So now my dear, it’s just a matter of time,
So buckle up,
Because you’ll soon become my partner in crime, uh, uh
Chorus
She got my heart beat out of control,
She had me at ‘hello’,
And set my world to b,b,blow.
So baby light it up and let it go, oh, oh etc
She got my heart beat out of control,
She had me at ‘hello’,
And set my world to b,b,blow.
So baby light it up and let it go, oh, oh etc
You’re so vain,
But no one stares at your brain,
So with that thought in mind I think we banish any plans to abstain.
Won’t you tell me all your secrets about,
How you exploit their weakness,
I think you’re a fucken genius uh, uh
And now my dear, it’s just a matter of time,
So buckle up,
Because you’ll soon become my partner in crime uh, uh.
Chorus
Bridge
So let’s go light up the night, yea tonight, just you and me
Light up the night, oh tonight, just you and me,
Light up the night, oh tonight, just you and me,
Light up the night, oh you and me.
Chorus

[@otislaurence9393]

@@WrittenByWolves i thought the dancing was cool tbh

[@otislaurence9393]

wow someone like that fast

[@Terastas]

It's the dancing of people who clearly do not like to dance (at least not while performing), were told by the director to dance, and finally all collectively thought "Ugh! Fine! Whatever!"

[@ColeoIsCooleo]

Is this an ipod ad?

[@arthas640]

No, but Apple built an empire by taking other peoples ideas, streamlining them slightly and prettying them up a bit, and then selling it to impressionable simpletons. Computers, MP3 players, phones, and now music videos.

[@zoran12LP]

Arthas Menethil can you recommend me a fedora?

[@rocknroller4186]

a few more years and no ones gonna know what those were 😢😢😢

[@idrathernot8115]

Okay so like I haven't listened on KZbin yet, but I started listening on Spotify two years ago and fell in love. I love this because the dancing and the entire song just puts me in a good mood. Can't believe you don't have more subs or views, so I'm sending this to all my friends.

[@D3V1LBr34TH]

Spotify recommended me this song and i can't stop singing along to the chorus.

[@Irrev77]

I'm six years late but I LOVE the old iPod commercial aesthetic of this music video. I can't believe a banger this good completely slipped me by.

[@AngeIIer]

Found your band by searching for some rock remix of Sia music. Only you guys got the version i want, the others i dont like. So i listened deeper into your music and Genius is absolutely perfect, don't understand why you got so low views, will share for ya ^^

[@WrittenByWolves]

AngeIIer that is awesome! So stoked that you dig it! Thanks heaps for the share!!

[@tjmflame1683]

Guess you could say their music is... Genius

[@Ajmat21]

Found this song through Spotify and I am astounded. I love this song. It's so good. Got stuck in my head. I guess you could you say this is quite "Genius". Greetings from the UK to you guys all the way down there in Auckland, New Zealand! Keep writing like wolves and keep it up!

[@kubashejbal6852]

I love how positive good-moody song that is, it's catchy and it always makes me smile and my head bobing.. thank you guys, cheers from the Czech Republic😊

[@Theo-zy7xg]

4 years later, in the middle of Corona time, Still listening to this. Found it a few days after release, every year I return and leave it on loop for a few days. Lovely beat and Lovely song. Enjoying vibing to this.

[@alexjohnson3926]

Why was it so hard to find this by searching for the song title? I only found it by typing in the chorus lyrics. 😢 I love this song so much!!

[@cosmega1696]

What's great about you guys is you make awesome music AND actively interact with your fans. That's something I think not very many people do.

[@WrittenByWolves]

Megajones thanks heaps for that! We love being able to chat with you guys, we are actually working on something at the moment that might take that to a new level so keep an eye on our Facebook page over the next few weeks for more details on that!

[@2484747]

@@WrittenByWolves i feel this is really unique like this isnt really my thing but i love you guys for the fact youre unique as hell!

[@NeverEndingMissary]

Fall Out Boy is dope but I don't think you're quite right. I think they sound much closer to Set It Off. Either way I'm not mad about stumbling onto them I really enjoy the sound and the energy this band brings to the table.

[@UmbraSanguinis]

@@NeverEndingMissary I agree tbh. Still, my new fave band and song to boot
