ABOUT THE AUTHOR
SONG LYRICS
Savage Garden was an Australian pop duo consisting of Darren Hayes as vocalist and Daniel Jones as instrumentalist. Formed in Logan City, Queensland in 1994, the duo achieved international success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the number-one hit singles "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back", "Truly Madly Deeply", "The Animal Song" and "I Knew I Loved You". Their two studio albums, Savage Garden and Affirmation reached number one in Australia and peaked in the top ten in both the United Kingdom and United States.
The group won a record number of ten ARIA Music Awards in 1997 for their debut album and its related singles. They disbanded in 2001 and Hayes continued as a solo artist.
If there's a way that you could be
Everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see,
But that's O.K.
'Cause I don't see things that are plain to see
Well, I've got a dream to take you over,
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world,
And that's no lie
You wanna give ecstasy delivered with certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people
Lookin' out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies
If there's a way to infiltrate you,
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world,
And that's no lie
(Chorus:)
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head
(Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head
(Violet)
Contemplate jealously
Intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned
Good shot at you and me
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Chorus)
Dance to the disco, Dance to the disco
Dance to the disco, Dance to the disco
I'm gonna take you,
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher ,
And that's no lie
Common sense is a game many
People don't like to play
But give it in, and the moment takes you either way
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Chorus x2)
If there's a way that you could
Be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people
Lookin' out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies
