Everything we touch
Everything we see
Everything we hear
is degraded
Everything we do
Everything we say
Everything we think
is transmitted
Climb the tower
Find the power
Climb the tower
Find the power
Radiation
Everything we vote
Everything we buy
Everything we eat
makes us smaller
Thinking we’re apart
Thinking we’re afraid
We know who they are
Implore them
Climb the tower
Find the power
Climb the tower
Find the power
Radiation
Climb the tower
Find the power

Everything we say
is real
Everything we say

Everything we say
is real
Everything we say

Everything we say

In the darkest corner
of the outer spiral arm
Lived a race of monkeys
with a thirst for causing harm
Frightened of the sparks
It's just a fairy tale
It's just a fairy tale
It's just a fairy tale
It's time to set sail!
Giving birth to combustion
to chase away the dark
Plutonium out of Uranus
Frightened by the sparks
We crack your skull wide open
We're drinking in your thoughts
You crack their skulls wide open
and feed them to the dogs
It's just a fairy tale
It's just a fairy tale
It's just a fairy tale
It's time to set sail!
Time to end
what we've begun
Time to burn down
what you've become
In your widest deserts
we're clawing up the ground
We found an astrolabe
and a skull that's far too round
Bony fingers pointing
to the stars and far beyond
Why can't you realise that
that's where you came from
Banging the rocks together!
Frightened of the sparks
Banging the rocks together!
Frightened of the sparks
It's just a fairy tale
It's just a fairy tale
It's just a fairy tale
It's time to set sail!
Time to end
what we've begun
Time to burn down
what you've become
Time to leave
your only sun
Time to end
what we've begun
It's just a fairytale
It's just a fairytale

One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
I see shivers - linger
Details slip between my fingers
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Empty suit - shuffled paper
Broken nails - metal flavour
I see shivers - shadows linger
Details slip between my fingers
Empty suit - shuffled paper
Broken nails - metal flavour
I see shivers - shadows linger
Details slip between my fingers
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
Trace
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks

I go invisible
under your cloak
We rock in time on the Southern line
I go invisible
release the choke-hold
Fast and slow
the monster grows
Safe in light
Hide in plain sight
Don't lift your head
Go straight to bed
Stares go through me
I'm never there
Safe in light
Hide in plain sight
Don't lift your head
Go straight to bed
Stares go through me
I'm never there
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
Locked inside
I think you know why
Empty your head
Quit playing dead
Safe in light
(Stares go through)
Hide in plain sight
(Never there)
Don't lift your head
Go straight to bed
Safe in light
Hide in plain sight
Safe in light
(Stares go through)
Hide in plain sight
Safe in light
(Stares go through)
Hide in plain sight
(Never there)
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
I go invisible
(Stares go through)
Stares go through
Stares go through

[original lyrics]
One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
I see shivers - linger
Details slip between my fingers
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Empty suit - shuffled paper
Broken nails - metal flavour
I see shivers - shadows linger
Details slip between my fingers
Empty suit - shuffled paper
Broken nails - metal flavour
I see shivers - shadows linger
Details slip between my fingers
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
Trace
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks
