[Jack]
Little meteorite
Who wanted to be a star!
Kissing as if you had only one minute to live
There is never enough time
There is never enough wine!
Living with you
Living with you!

Pranksters play on traditional themes
Do brave deeds and do endure!

You won't get used to it
But you will live through it!
Wonderful even as you fight
It feels like magic cause
You can't control it!
Either way you lose
Either way you lose

Pranksters play on traditional themes
Do brave deeds and do endure!
We fix our animals so they don't act like this

[Jack&Sandra]
(On a whim) Come on lets get complicated!
(On a whim) Fun and dangerous, don't pay the rent!
Running through the suburbs at night!
Little meteorite!
