[Chorus 1: Charli XCX]
Dancing in the darkness
Pink and lilac
Keep the silence
Crystals on the skyline
Cut to midnight
Ultraviolet

[Chorus 2: Charli XCX]
Flying through the black night
You’re the angel in the moonlight
Running through the thunder
Undercover
Silver lover

[Verse 1: Mike G]
Yeah, now you're thinkin' what have I gotten myself in?
How can I extend this situation?
I can't see how this'll end, while other's contin
You just wanted a friend
But I can make you feel like you'll never need them again
I hope they go with the wind
Way past far
No way anyone could ever tell where we are
Freeze to make you stay
Raise fires to keep them away
Keep a quick pace to make sure
Others must admire from a distance
I could make you wanna love me in an instant
Too nice, nicer than they are
But I learned being too nice won't get you too far
Explore everywhere on you
The journey can't hurt
Dominate every place, that's just how kings work
No commitment, no goal, no model
Wrong role, role models played a role
No shadow, no soul, let's go

[Verse 2: Charli XCX]
Yeah, I’m dancing in the darkness
Three years before I was feeling so heartless
But your burn shined through
Now I’m drinking love potion when I lay next to you
It’s a criminal feeling
Happiness cries when the tears are dreaming
My body is screaming
I’m staying right here, no, I’ll never be leaving

[Chorus 1: Charli XCX]
Dancing in the darkness
Pink and lilac
Keep the silence
Crystals on the skyline
Cut to midnight
Ultraviolet

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
