Rico Rico put down your gun and kill the ego
We've got you surrounded,
put your hands up, put your hands up Rico
Let's take it slow - come clean and we'll get back behind you for sure
We need some answers first so turn and face your people
Tell me why you love like a burning candle
Bringing alive every room
Only to fade away
Like your emotions, love is here and then it's gone too soon.
Rico Rico who walked the streets just like a hero
Sailed the seven seas in search of inner peace and freedom
Let's take it slow and turn the clock right back to zero
The future lies before us like an ocean unexplored, just tell me
Tell me why you love like a burning candle
Bringing alive every room
Only to fade away
Like your emotions, love is here and then it's gone too soon.
Tell us that your life is a burning scandal
Caught up in the secrets you keep
That if you could go back in time to change it
Then you would in a heart beat
Rico recall the moment that you ceased to be
We can't go on forever playing happy families.
