The world's spinning round like a looney balloon
|
Heading for a collision with Saturn and Mars
|
And we're narrowly missing the man in the moon,
|
Spinning out of control crashing into the stars.
|
Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity?
|
Is this the price that we pay?
|
Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon?
|
|
Drift away, just drift away.
|
It's so easy to just drift away.
|
Drift away, just drift away.
|
Drifting away on this looney balloon.
|
|
The air is running out, the computer's gone down.
|
The mechanic just panicked, he's nowhere to be found.
|
So automatic control is just spinning us round
|
No point screaming in space, you just can't hear a sound.
|
Now the pilot's gone mad, he just jumped overboard
|
With a lunatic smile on his face
|
And he laughed as he cut the umbilical chord
|
Now he's drifting forever in space.
|
|
Drift away, just drift away.
|
It's so easy to just drift away.
|
Drift away, just drift away
|
Drifting away on this looney balloon.
|
We're out of control on this looney balloon
|
Narrowly missing the planets and stars.
|
Even optimists say that it's all gloom and doom.
|
We've got to get somewhere or hit something soon.
|
First class and economy, we all played the game
|
For selfish profit and gain.
|
So together we'll all go insane on this looney balloon.
|
|
Drift away, hey, just drift away,
|
Drifting away on this looney balloon.
|
Drift away, hey, just drift away.
|
Drifting away on this looney balloon.
|
Drift away, hey,
|
Drift away. Drift away.
