The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run.

The world's spinning round like a looney balloon 
Heading for a collision with Saturn and Mars 
And we're narrowly missing the man in the moon, 
Spinning out of control crashing into the stars. 

Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity? 
Is this the price that we pay? 
Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon? 
Drift away, just drift away. 

It's so easy to just drift away. 
Drift away, just drift away. 
Drifting away on this looney balloon. 
The air is running out, the computer's gone down. 

The mechanic just panicked, he's nowhere to be found. 
So automatic control is just spinning us round 
No point screaming in space, you just can't hear a sound. 
Now the pilot's gone mad, he just jumped overboard 

With a lunatic smile on his face 
And he laughed as he cut the umbilical chord 
Now he's drifting forever in space. 
Drift away, just drift away. 

It's so easy to just drift away. 
Drift away, just drift away 
Drifting away on this looney balloon. 
We're out of control on this looney balloon 

Narrowly missing the planets and stars. 
Even optimists say that it's all gloom and doom. 
We've got to get somewhere or hit something soon. 
First class and economy, we all played the game 

For selfish profit and gain. 
So together we'll all go insane on this looney balloon. 
Drift away, hey, just drift away, 
Drifting away on this looney balloon. 

Drift away, hey, just drift away. 
Drifting away on this looney balloon. 
Drift away, hey, 
Drift away. Drift away.
