lyrics

In the darkest corner
of the outer spiral arm
Lived a race of monkeys
with a thirst for causing harm
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!

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
