Kim and Jessie They have a secret world in the twilight Kids outside worlds They are crazy about romance and illusion Somebody lurks in the shadows Somebody whispers Somebody lurks in the shadows Yeah yeah yeah Dream dressed in blue It's all they need for now And forever Chased by the moon They shatter their whole peace With singing So we can drown our towns with voices So possible to like it as one And soon they'll be flying Say of course, say you're lovely
