Go tell all your friends that this is the end Go tell all your friends that this is the end Go tell all your friends that this is the end This is the end I don't understand a word you're saying What are the clouds running from? There's something in the air tonight Something is wrong, spit it out! I just fell from the mothership (They said that) Your answers they're always lying on the ocean bed Your answers they're always lying on the ocean bed There's something in the air There's something in the air (in the air, in the air) Tonight, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake (In the air, in the air, woah) Tonight, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake And I'll plead with a thousand voices I am sane! I am sane! My soul felt so save up there No self centered natives destroying our earth I just fell from the mothership (They said that) Your answers, were always lying on the ocean bed Your answers (your answers, your answers), were always lying on the ocean bed Walk the plank! walk the plank! walk the plank! Walk the plank! walk the plank! walk the plank! WALK THE PLANK! Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed Your answers were always lying on the ocean bed
