Song information

Lyrics

Exploding international
The scenes, the sounds
And famously the feeling that you can't
Squeeze 'round
While tearing off another page of
Loose change outrage

It's another perfect day
Until the night shows

Exploding international
The wind did howl
The sky above was thick with rings of smoke
And clouds
And hanging on the bleeding end of conscious
Who's this?
Was there anything I missed
As far as you know?

Was it all for swinging you around? all for swinging you around?

Exploding international
The sun, the sights
The moments you are viewing through
A beam of light
Propel you through the golden age
We crash-land the first page on a crumbling world stage
Into the front rows, into the front rows

All for swinging you around. all for swinging you around

And off your feet
All the love you found, spinning 'round. x3
Spinning round, spinning round

We're twisting incognito with no time
Can't talk, can't tell
If this is fantasy or culture shock
Or remnants of a golden age that's near mint unplayed
Or a welcome overstayed beneath the lightshow

All for swinging you around. x6
