Song lyrics

We're all going, we're all going

Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
The room lit up and we ran about
Well, this is what I really call a party now
Packed up our cars, move to the next town

Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
This one's done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
Well, you all know what I'm talking about
Shaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground
So I can't look surprised right now

Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we'll make the same mistakes
Burn it up, we'll just chop it down
But this one's done so where to now?

We're all going, we're all going

Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
This is what I really call a party now
Well, fear makes us really, really run around
But this one's done so where to now?

Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
Well, you all know what I'm talking about
The room lights up, well, we're still dancing around
We're having fun, having some fun now

Pack up again, head to the next place
Where we'll make the same mistakes
Open one up and let it fall to the ground
Pile out the door when it all runs out

We're all going, we're all going

We have spines in our bones
We'll eat your food, we'll throw stones
Well, this is how it's always gone
And this is how it's going to go

Well, we're the human race
We're going to party at this place
And then move on
(Tough luck)

We'll kill you off and then make a clone
Yeah, we got spines and other bones
This is how it's always gone
And this is how it's going to go

As our feelings are getting hurt
Oh, we want you to do the work
Our ass looks great inside these jeans
Well, we want just our water clean

This is how it's always been
And this is how it's going to be
So you just move on

The air's on fire so we're moving on
Better find another one cause this one's done
Waiting for the magic of the sun to explode
To push, push, push, push, pull us up

Spend some time, float in outer space
Find another planet, make the same mistakes
Our mind's all shattered when we come and go
Hoping for the scientists to find another door
