One Beat |
| I’m a bubble in a sound wave |
| A sonic push for energy |
| Exploding like the sun |
| A flash of clean light hope |
| All you scientists can hold your breath |
| Can I decide to show myself, oh oh |
| Oh oh oh… |
| (Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly |
| oh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme) |
| If you think like Thomas Edison |
| Could you invent a world for me |
| Now all that’s on the surface |
| Are bloody arms and oil fields |
| Could I turn this place all upside down |
| And shake you and your fossils out, oh oh |
| Oh oh oh… |
| (You can’t predict everything with Newton like certainty, why |
| Oh my, coz it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high) |
| And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know |
| You tune out out out the hypnotic drone |
| Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb |
| And you soothe your soul with the shapes you know |
| Should I come outside and run your cars |
| Should I run your rockets to the stars |
| Could you invent a world for me |
| I need to hear a symphony |
| If I’m to run the future |
| You’ve got to let the old world go, oh oh |
| Oh oh oh… |
| (Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly |
| oh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme) |
| And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know |
| You tune out out out the hypnotic drone |
| Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb |
| And you soothe your soul with the shapes you know |
| Your word for me is fusion |
| But is real change an illusion |
| Could I turn this place all upside down |
| And shake you and your fossils out |
| If I’m to run the future |
| You’ve got to let the old world go |
| Could you invent a world for me |
| I need to hear a symphony, oh oh |
| Oh oh oh… |
| (You can’t predict everything with Newton like certainty, why |
| Oh my, coz it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high) |
