lyrics
Oh look it's starting again
So let's take it from the top
Take it right round the bend
Please don't pause the clocks
I want this new normal to end
I'm glad you haven't left
I really needed a friend to help me comprehend
All the lights in the sky
How we're all made from them
How we're going to die
And if you cross that finish line
Will your eyes be black or blue?
And like those fires in the night
I think we'll all wink out too
Tune in, turn on, drop out
Embrace every cop-out
I'm sorry but I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
Oh you pretty things
I can't believe you're going to
Rinse it and repeat once again
Oh I'm gobsmacked and wide-eyed
But it's time to fall in line
Falling hand over fist from
The top of the high rise
A broken spoke upon a wheel
Struggling to unwind
A hopeless rope that cuts a deal
Pays in cash never in kind
I think it's time that I come down
From this fever dream now
I think it's time that I come down
From this fever dream now
Tune in, turn on, drop out
Embrace every cop-out
I'm sorry but I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
So let's drop all the noise
Become grass-eating boys
The view from nowhere is such a marvellous view
We've got grace and we've got poise
We've got Lego blocks and toys
Hand in hand we're only passing through
Sometimes it's better
To be left out on your own
Sometimes the weather
Is better left unknown
I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
I'm sorry but I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
So let's take it from the top
Take it right round the bend
Please don't pause the clocks
I want this new normal to end
I'm glad you haven't left
I really needed a friend to help me comprehend
All the lights in the sky
How we're all made from them
How we're going to die
And if you cross that finish line
Will your eyes be black or blue?
And like those fires in the night
I think we'll all wink out too
Tune in, turn on, drop out
Embrace every cop-out
I'm sorry but I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
Oh you pretty things
I can't believe you're going to
Rinse it and repeat once again
Oh I'm gobsmacked and wide-eyed
But it's time to fall in line
Falling hand over fist from
The top of the high rise
A broken spoke upon a wheel
Struggling to unwind
A hopeless rope that cuts a deal
Pays in cash never in kind
I think it's time that I come down
From this fever dream now
I think it's time that I come down
From this fever dream now
Tune in, turn on, drop out
Embrace every cop-out
I'm sorry but I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
So let's drop all the noise

I'm sorry but I've got to go
I shouldn't be here
That much I know
I'm sorry but I've got to leave
This routine's killing me
Don't stop to grieve
