the world will end with not a whimper, but a boom

a supersonic quantum vacuum red balloon

but I will live forever because I am so clever

I have been living my life inside a box

I never questioned any physics, orthodox

but I will suffer never, feel no pain whatsoever

but I cannot abide the secrets that you keep

the lack of empathy has never been so deep

but I keep coming back for more and you keep asking why

this is the last time

the H in LHC stands for harbinger

of revelations of a more modern nature

but I will live forever feel no shame whatsoever

I have been living my life inside a box

I never questioned any physics, orthodox

but I will suffer never, because I am so clever

but I cannot abide the secrets that you keep

the lack of empathy has never been so deep

but you keep coming back for more and i keep asking why

but I cannot abide the secrets that you keep (hey)

the lack of empathy has never been so deep

but I keep coming back for more and you keep asking why

this is the last time

this is the last time

and I cannot abide the secrets that you keep

the lack of empathy has never been so deep

but I keep coming back for more and you keep asking why

this is the last time

this is the last time

this is the last time

this is the last time

whenever we look at old timers on horseback in love

i can’t stop myself wanting to turn back the clock

whenever the power is cut at the station

i pray that it never will come back

where did we go wrong?

but we don’t want to be smashing the machinery just yet

i want to live, don’t want to die

more cash into the art of pretending that we can’t stop death

i want to live, don’t want to die

so nobody gets what I didn’t when I was your age

i don’t care to be young, I just don’t want to die

but we don’t want to be smashing the machinery just yet

i want to live, don’t want to die

more cash into the art of pretending that we can’t stop death

i want to live, don’t want to die

I’ve got an axe in my garage, you’ve got ‘The Queen is Dead on vinyl’

and I know you’re not the type to work alone

so how about we get together as we don’t need no reason

cut through the red-shirted queen’s guard

and keep an eye out for the damned double-O seven, he’s sly,

shoot him on sight

the head, her head, restin’ on a pillow

we don’t need no reason to be the ones you charge with treason

we never tried to hide it from you

the royal hunt is on, beheadin’ season

we will live our days out rotting in a dungeon, tied down with chains

and I know there will be a protest singer calling for our release

but he should know

we don’t need no reason to be the ones you charge with treason

we never tried to hide it from you

the royal hunt is on, beheadin’ season

we don’t need no reason to be the ones you charge with treason

we never tried to hide it from you

the royal hunt is on, beheadin’ season

I’ve got to work Saturdays again, there goes my weekend

I’ve got to work Saturdays again, my social life is sickening

it’s just a small part of my life

it’s just a small part of my life

I’ve got to work all day in the rain, I wonder how I manage to keep staying sane

working with all those stupid twats tying my knickers in a knot

it’s just a small part of my life, hey hey

and welcome to a small part of my life

it’s just a small part of my life

welcome to a small part of my life

I don’t know why I care at all

and I don’t know how I’ll carry on, how do I carry on?

’cause it’s just a small part of my life, hey hey

it’s just a small part of my life, yeah yeah

it’s just a small part of my life, wooah

it’s just a small part of my life

get on the bus, we’re moving into this empty space

fill up the tank and bust out, let’s find another place

we can flee the wreckage of our past

ever the optimist I can see a better space

edge of the universe and old neighbours are replaced

there will be no questions, so don’t ask

never mind what we’re doing

everyone disappears, everyone flies from here

I’m flying, give in to the dark flow

nobody sits around, nobody hears a sound

I’m flying, give in to the dark flow

get on the bus, we’re moving into this empty space

fill up the tank and bust out, let’s find another place

we can flee the wreckage of our past

ever the optimist I can see a better space

edge of the universe and old neighbours are replaced

there will be no questions, so don’t ask

never mind what we’re doing

never mind what you hear, listen to someone near

I’m flying, give in to the dark flow

superstructures appear, dragging us over there

I’m dying, give in to the dark flow

hit black alert, it’s an emergency
another level of disharmony
it’s not a false alarm, reality
absurdity’s the norm, don’t tell anyone
we need to roll back to the day you died
this isn’t rock and roll, it’s genocide
division on the rise and now worldwide
absurdity’s the norm, don’t tell anyone
if we’re all fucked, well then it’s time to go
so punch it chewie, now let’s hit the road
and we go with the flow or better, don’t
just take me anywhere, i don’t want to know
just take me anywhere, we just have to go away from here
just take me anywhere, i don’t want to know
just take me anywhere, we just have to go away from here
go with the flow or better, don’t
absurdity’s the norm, don’t tell anyone
and all we’re asking for is five more years
a five-year mission on the holodeck
no more golden years, black star alert
just take me anywhere, i don’t want to know
just take me anywhere, we just have to go away from here
just take me anywhere, i don’t want to know
just take me anywhere, we just have to go away from here
don’t blacken my heart, blacken my thumb
i don’t want to know
don’t blacken my heart, blacken my thumb
i don’t want to know
don’t blacken my heart, blacken my thumb
i don’t want to know
don’t blacken my heart, blacken my thumb
i don’t want to know

do it another way, I’m asking you

do it another way, now, there has to be

one more, a better way, I’m begging you

one more, a better way now, there’s got to be a

better way forward, better way for us

a better way for us to be alive

so get out the car and push

cap off another year

invisible to the majority now, incredible

I’ll have another go, repeatable in this company now I

there’s got to be a

better way now, better way for us

a better way for us to be alive

so get out the car and push

do it another way, do it another way

do it another way, do it another way

I can’t break
