Lyrics

The world is turning, we're on our way The burning circle, life, leave it behind you You've got no problems, they've gone away So take your money, throw it behind you This ancient tarmac in rearview grey In the only thing I, I leave behind me The horizon's burning, so far away From the same old people in the same old houses And I am a capsule turning, far away Oh, and I see the old world burning, far away So clear the launchpad and arm the capsule Two tonnes of gelegnite explode behind you Your father's money has gone away Eight billion dollars, they, they burn behind you Goodbye boys My old heart Groans with light shows And I am a capsule turning, far away Oh, and I see the old world burning, far away So fire your burners and head to space And hear the gelegnite explode behind you All of your problems have gone away Eight billion dollars, they burn behind you, and I Head to space And leave your problems so far behind you Now ditch the burners Rotate the capsule And spit your toothpaste In perfect circles Oh, oh, Earth's an emerald, so far behind you And David's spiders, they, they crawl beside you The flags are flying so far away For the brave new people in, in brave new houses They'll build new statues in, in brave new dirt So far away from the laughter rising And I am a capsule turning, far away Oh, and I see the old world burning, far away It's all so easy, boys Tic Tac on the Eastern Seaboard As quick as Vaseline Quick smile for the camera, three, four It's all so easy, boys When's your birthday? Late September I'll send a telegram As long as someone else remembers It's all so easy, boys Blue smoke on the Eastern Seaboard As slick as Vaseline Quick smile for the camera, three, four
