Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Get you high
(No)
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
I didn't make up my mind yet
Don't want to go, ain't my time yet
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Wow, wow
This is a such dangerous game
Wow, wow
I think I might have made a mistake
Why is everyone dying?
Why is everybody dying?
Why?
It's too late to fight it
Stars are aligning
My soul is rising
[Chorus: Grimes]
Why, why, why?
Locked in the Sci-Fi-Fi
We can fly
Don't be shy, just lose your mind
Don't mind, mind, mind my futuristic vibe
Get you high, Sci-Fi
[Verse 2: Grimes]
Baby, welcome to the new world
Be forever with a space girl
Let's go, let's go, let's go
I know, you know
We can play a dangerous game (I don't wanna die, baby)
Baby, will you tell me your name?
Like, Hi
You're looking so Sci-Fi
Brighter than the sun, that's why
No one can see it
If you can dream it
Sky ain't the limit
[Chorus: Grimes]
Why, why, why?
Locked in the Sci-Fi-Fi
We can fly
Don't be shy, just lose your mind
Don't mind, mind, mind my futuristic vibe
Get you high, Sci-Fi
