And I'm thinking what's the deal With the facts that they conceal But I'm thinking what's the harm With a bit of rhetoric and charm But I can't quite comprehend A beginning or an end No I can't quite stomach this You and me we're gonna take To the skies for common sake We'll fly amongst the cirrus clouds 20,000 feet we'll clock the crowds And from that height we'll leak the lies And unveil our damaged skies 'cause we can't quite stomach this Look, all I'm trying to say is You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight The sun and the sea could power us No-longer cower in oil lust Chernobyl is still a stain Of the dangers of this game I still can't quite comprehend A beginning or an end No I can't quite stomach this Look, all I'm trying to say is You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight We'll embark on our great voyage to the sun And we'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? Look, all I'm trying to say is You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight We embark on our great voyage to the sun We'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone Just like the ocean we won't be pacific anymore No longer in coexistence with other species, this is flawed You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight
