lyrics

Home

So here we go, nobody but ourselves to thank
Just ourselves, the oil barons and the bank
All in the same boat, couple clicks from the cave
Don't they know the masters gonna go down with the slaves

Compasses pointing to the dollar sign
Seek and ye shall surely find the bottom line
We're taking on water but the deck chairs are arranged
To keep this boat floating something basic's got to change

Hey check out the charts. Start checking them soon
Or we'll all be listening to the greatest hits of Neptune
Look around not a solitary sign of land
Has anybody here got a plan?

Strong enough to take us
Big enough to take us
Light enough to take us where we need to go
Deep....Smart....Right enough to take us
To take us home

The deal is queen here and the number is king
We're all about the plumage and the packaging
We're revving up our engines and we're fighting our wars
We running on the blood of dead dinosaurs

So occupied listening to our fascinating sound
The money peg's square. The survive slot is round
Only now we 're looking for a little change of scene
Where we won't need a snorkel or a submarine

Preachers are shouting death, destruction and sin
Maybe the answer really has been blowing in the wind
We tried internal combustion. We're watching it fail
Can anybody here build a sail?
Chorus
Universe expanding. Bigger head, bigger heart
Otherwise we’d just be getting farther apart.
Space and time curving like Salacia’s hip
You wanna sail these straights
The boat that's gonna float
Has got to be some kind of partnership
