  Gemini ooo Gemini
  Gemini ooo Gemini

  Everything I do will haunt me
  It's running around
  It's always running around my head
  And it's 3 am gonna wake up again
  Feeling tired but I'm suddenly euphoric
  Oh hope the feeling sticks around

  But I'm up and down
  Yeah, I'm up and down
  I'm up and down, I'm up and down
  I'm up and down, I'm up and down
  Oh, I'm up and down

  But when I'm up
  Will you dance with me?
  We can make the most of everything
  Get a little bit high
  Go a little too far
  It's too boring to be stable
  Dancing on a table
  Let's light it up, will you dance with me?
  We can act like fools for eternity
  Never gonna feel bad
  Always gonna feel good
  Let's lie to ourselves
  Lie to ourselves

  That the night will never end
  (Gemini) until it ends
  Yeah the night will never end
  (Gemini) but then it ends

  I don't wanna see the sun
  Maybe I could move to Alaska
  Can't be the only one
  But I should wish that I could
  But it's 3 am gonna wake up again
  Feeling tired but I'm suddenly euphoric
  Oh hope the feeling sticks around

  But I'm up and down
  Yeah, I'm up and down
  I'm up and down, I'm up and down
  Oh, I'm up and down
  Oh, yeah yeah yeah
  Oh, yeah

  But when I'm up
  Will you dance with me?
  We can make the most of everything
  Get a little bit high
  Go a little too far
  It's too boring to be stable
  Dancing on a table
  Let's light it up, will you dance with me?
  We can act like fools for eternity
  Never gonna feel bad
  Always gonna feel good
  Let's lie to ourselves
  Lie to ourselves

  That the night will never end
  (Gemini)
  Yeah the night will never end
  (Gemini) Gemini

Track nine on [*MÖB*](/albums/mob/), the duality song. A 3 a.m. wake-up arrives tired and suddenly euphoric, and the chorus names the swing before the title does: *up and down*, stacked until it's the melody. The up-verse is an invitation to burn bright (dance with me, *too boring to be stable*, act like fools for eternity), and the bargain is explicit: *never gonna feel bad / always gonna feel good / let's lie to ourselves*. The punchline waits in parentheses: *the night will never end (Gemini) until it ends*.

Wanting to outrun the sun (*maybe I could move to Alaska*) only loops back to 3 a.m. and euphoric again. On an album shadowed by Guillain-Barré and body instability, *Gemini* isn't just astrology; it's highs that demand a dance partner and lows that know the morning is coming. Sits between [*fuck it let's go bowling*](/songs/fuck-it-lets-go-bowling/) and [*All I Need*](/songs/all-i-need/).
