Gemini
3 a.m. up-and-down: euphoria that won't stick, dance-on-the-table highs, lie that the night never ends: Gemini until it ends.

Track nine on MÖB, 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 and All I Need.

Lyrics
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
