Deadly Chemistry
Bada dada
Bada dada dadada
Bada dada
You’re a cute one
How’d ya like a little fun?
With your hand in mine,
Chemicals will combine
We’re dynamite
Let’s light the fuse by candlelight
And see what happens
Let’s dare to explode
Bada dada
Bada dada dadada
Bada dada
You’re a lovely thing
Deserving of a diamond ring
We could settle down in suburban testing grounds
Electricity circling eternally
Could be sustainable energy
Or electrocution
We could ride a rocket all the way to heaven
Or maybe we’d get blown to bits
But either way, I’d be willin’ to take that risk
Just to see if we could survive our deadly chemistry
Bada dada
Bada dada dadada
Bada dada
Let's toss the safety gear
And watch a miracle appear
We’re mad scientists
Making happy accidents
Let’s experiment
No telling what we could invent
Some little monsters
Some scary little things
We could ride a rocket all the way to heaven
Or maybe we’d get blown to bits
But either way, I’d be willin’ to take that risk
Just to see if we could survive our deadly chemistry
And if we could glimpse tomorrow
If we took a trip through a time machine
And saw two broken hearts
I'd still welcome the sorrow
And start the chain reaction
Of you and me
Yeah, let’s ride this rocket all the way to heaven
Maybe we’ll get blown to bits
Either way I am willin’ to take that risk
To see if we can survive
Our deadly chemistry
Deadly chemistry
Deadly chemistry
Our deadly chemistry, yeah
Sparks are flyin’
Deadly chemistry
Potent fluids mixing
Deadly chemistry
Your touch is electric
Deadly chemistry
Sending waves of energy through me
Temperatures rising
Sudden eruptions
It’s that delicate science of love
Lemme study the physics of you
Dangerous and deadly
Chemistry
Deadly
Deadly
Deadly chemistry
Deadly chemistry
Falling in love is quite the experiment. When sparks are flying between you and a special someone, ya never know if it'll lead to a long and lovely chemical bond or a disastrous explosion. Either way, love is a deadly chemistry.
