And all the chemicals and alcohol make for a volatile love 
But stay with me 
Just stay with me 
And I never wanna lose you but I feel that closures will tear us apart 
But stay with me 
Stay with me 
  
Bang, Bang, Bang (x4) 
  
(Chorus) 
Smells like roses to me 
Two young lovers at sea 
Tastes so bitter and so sweet 
You’re my bang, together we go bang bang bang
