Song written by Ricky and Scarlett Wilde.
Second track on the album Closer.
Kim about ‘Scorpio’
‘Scorpio’ is a song about several things, I have to admit. The thing that I would focus on myself would be the joy of playing live. Playing live with your band, so very few people on this planet get to do that. We are in a very small minority of people who get to have one of the best fun that is available on this planet, I recon. We get to be on stage before thousand and thousands of people, but even if it’s just fifty people or less it doesn’t make any difference. The whole joy of performing with a band is hard to put into words and if anything can put it into words I think it’s this song. (1)

Lyrics
It looked good on paper but paper can burn
With a death of a thousand cuts I have learnt
My life is just the same
Still high and I feel no shame
Jump out the fire and into the flame
Make a rule for playin’ a different game
Let’s play “rule the world”
Wave a big banner, proclaim the word
‘Cause you know when you call my name
I’ll be coming your way, time and again
Done it again
I got the answer
Done it again
Ooh, I’m comin’ at you
Drive you insane
‘Cause it’s a winner babe
Done it again
And there’s no stopping it
Done it
Wanna join the band and discover the dream?
You’re the star tonight when you’re bangin’ with me
All pleasure feel no pain (No pain)
Music pumpin’ through your veins
If you believe in the end the music will guide the way
Love will remain
‘Cause ya know
Done it again
I got the answer
Done it again
Ooh, I’m comin’ at you
Drive you insane
‘Cause it’s a winner babe
Done it again
Everyone’s a winner now
Done it again
It’s what I’m dreamin’ of
Done it again
A Scorpio sting in the tail
Drive you insane
‘Cause I’m a winner babe
Done it again
And there’s no stopping it
Done it
Everyone’s a winner now
I got the answer
Ooh, I’m coming at ya
My life is just the same (Just the same)
It’s what we’re dreaming of
Our lives are just the same (Just the same)
There’s no stopping it
Done it again
It’s what I’m dreamin’ of
Done it again
A Scorpio sting in the tail
Drive you insane
‘Cause I’m a winner babe
Done it again
Everyone’s a winner now
‘Cause I’m a Scorpio baby, woo
My life is just the same
My life is just the same
My life is just the same
Our lives are just the same
Done it
