My arms are holding a ruby My head is rumbling like Siberia Express Can't remember what I'm here for Or what I've done the night before I've got a box in my pocket With a mystic text and joyride spice I read the note as I walk out the door: "Meet us at the gate to Metropolis" Rather confused I continue To walk out the door in the house I am in Can't believe what my eyes see This looks like 'nam in 73 This place is trashed pretty bad My car is a wreck and the neighbour's cat is on fire The street starts to shake As parts of the night appear in my mind Hey! Scream with us Hey! Dance with us Hey! The rushes of joy Blinding lights As I walk down the road People seem tense and crammed with fear I stop to ask what's going on When a shiny girl breaks my world with her words: You know last night might have been The final party of the 21st century The oceans are black And tonight we execute the unpleasant truth Hey! Scream with us Hey! Dance with us Hey! The rushes of joy Blinding lights... ...enlightens my mind The visions are getting clearer now We feared to climb the walls at the gates to our future But realised that it was only the fear we feared Now it's us against the world And we are getting higher and higher and higher... Hey! Scream with us Hey! Dance with us Hey! The rushes of joy Blinding lights
