Sing and Learn: Sia - Chandelier

Всем привет! А это уже 20-й выпуск рубрики Sing and Learn. Надеюсь, что ваш понедельник легкий и бодрый, несмотря на вчерашний перевод часов! А если вам все таки нужно взбодриться, то давайте послушаем, как катается на люстре тусовщица Sia в ее песне Chandelier.

[Verse 1:]
Party girls don't get hurt,
Can't feel anything, when will I learn,
I push it down, push it down.
I'm the one “for a good time call”,
Phone's blowing up, they're ringing my doorbell,
I feel the love, feel the love.

[Pre-Chorus:]
1,2,3, 1,2,3, drink!
1,2,3, 1,2,3, drink!
1,2,3, 1,2,3, drink!
Throw ‘em back, till I lose count.

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier,
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist,
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry,
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier.

[Bridge:]
And I'm holding on for dear life,
Won't look down, won't open my eyes,
Keep my glass full until morning light
 ‘Cause I'm just holding on for tonight.
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life,
Won't look down, won't open my eyes,
Keep my glass full until morning light
 ‘Cause I'm just holding on for tonight,
On for tonight.

[Verse 2:]
Sun is up, I'm a mess,
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this,
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

[Pre-Chorus:]

[Chorus:]

 [Bridge:]
