Description

An intoxicating feeling when reality becomes soft, like smoke in a club, and thoughts dissolve into rhythm. Everything is too beautiful to be sober: she is like a sacred ritual, he is almost a saint, only with a broken glass in his hand. There's no room for philosophy here - everything is held together by warmth, touches and slightly awkward words set to music, where every line sounds like a confession uttered between a breath and a laugh. A little vulgar, a little funny, but terrifyingly vivid - like an evening you won't remember in detail, but will want to repeat.

Lyrics and translation

Original

When I look at you

It's like I've been baptised

It's so spiritual

Like I've been sanctified

Oh I'm drunk in love

And you're Beyoncé

Let's get it on

All I gotta say is

I, I, I, I

I feel like a rolling stoner

Dont think I can keep my composure

Girl until the night is over

I don't have a thought that is sober

Won't you take it off

And leave it all behind

If you let me darling

I could ease your mind

Baby making love with you is all I want

Let's get it on

All I wanna say is

I, I, I, I

I feel like a rolling stoner

Dont think I can keep my composure

Girl until the night is over

I don't have a thought that is sober

Heat me up like a soup, baby

Smoke me up till your pupils' crazy

Double vision, everybody singing in sync

R. Kelly, remix to ignition

So many women, yeah living in the minute

Their stripping in my living room

I wanna be with you

Your just different like Lana Del Rey

You could play me all day, like a video game

Like a video game

All I gotta say

I feel like a rolling stoner

I've had too many Coca Cola's

Living the la vida loca

I don't have a thought that is sober

I feel like a rolling stoner

Don't think I can keep my composure

Girl until the night is over

I don't have a thought that is sober
