It must be an infestation
Something that I can't control
It's an open invitation
To try to find the bottom of a bottomless hole
I wanna see inside the alien
I wanna feel your organs inside out
Nobody needs this information
But I'll give it to you anyhow, anyhow, anyhow

Oh, the whole station's gonna burn down

Oh, the whole station's gonna burn down

It must be an infestation
Something that I can't control
It's an open invitation
To try to find the bottom of a bottomless hole
I wanna see inside the alien
I wanna inside out (side out)
Nobody needs this in the station

Oh, the whole station's gonna burn down
Oh, the whole station's gonna burn down
Oh, the whole station's gonna burn down (inside out)
Oh, the whole station's gonna burn down
No, oh, the whole station's gonna burn
