Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
You leapt from crumbling bridges
– I peke koe i ngā piriti e pakaru ana
Watching cityscapes turn to dust
– Te mātakitaki i ngā tirohanga taone e huri ana ki te puehu
Filming helicopters crashing
– Te kiriata i ngā hīkoi e hinga ana
In the ocean from way above
– I te moana mai i runga
Got the music in you, baby
– Kei roto i a koe te waiata, baby
Tell me why
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha
Got the music in you, baby
– Kei roto i a koe te waiata, baby
Tell me why
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha
You’ve been locked in here forever
– Kua maukati koe ki konei ake ake
And you just can’t say goodbye
– A kaore e taea e koe te poroporoaki
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers
– Kihi i runga i nga rae o nga hoa aroha
Wrapped in your arms
– I takaia ki ōu ringa
You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos
– Kua huna e koe i a rātau ki roto i ngā piana kōhao
Left in the dark
– I mahue i te pōuri
Got the music in you, baby
– Kei roto i a koe te waiata, baby
Tell me why
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha
Got the music in you, baby
– Kei roto i a koe te waiata, baby
Tell me why
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha
You’ve been locked in here forever
– Kua maukati koe ki konei ake ake
And you just can’t say goodbye
– A kaore e taea e koe te poroporoaki
Your lips, my lips
– Ko Your ngutu, ko my ngutu
Apocalypse
– Te whakamataku
Your lips, my lips
– Ko Your ngutu, ko my ngutu
Apocalypse
– Te whakamataku
Go and sneak us through the rivers
– Haere ki te hopu i a mātau i roto i ngā awa
Flood is rising up on your knees
– Kei te piki ake te waipuke i runga i your turi
Oh, please
– Aue, tēnā
Come out and haunt me
– Haere mai ki waho ka whakatoi i ahau
I know you want me
– E mohio ana ahau e hiahia ana koe ki ahau
Come out and haunt me
– Haere mai ki waho ka whakatoi i ahau
Sharing all your secrets with each other
– Faaiteraa i to outou mea ngaro katoa ki tahi i te tahi
Since you were kids
– Mai i a koe e tamariki ana
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you
– E moe pai ana ki te mekameka i hoatu e ia ki a koe
Clutched in your fist
– Ka mau ki tō ringa
Got the music in you, baby
– Kei roto i a koe te waiata, baby
Tell me why
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha
Got the music in you, baby
– Kei roto i a koe te waiata, baby
Tell me why
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha
You’ve been locked in here forever
– Kua maukati koe ki konei ake ake
And you just can’t say goodbye
– A kaore e taea e koe te poroporoaki
You’ve been locked in here forever
– Kua maukati koe ki konei ake ake
And you just can’t say goodbye
– A kaore e taea e koe te poroporoaki
Ooh, oh
– E te atua, e te atua
When you’re all alone
– I a koe anake
I’ll reach for you
– Ka toro atu ahau ki a koe
When you’re feelin’ low
– A, no te e koe feelin’ iti
I’ll be there too
– Ka noho hoki ahau ki reira
