Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons
(We're on the way)

It might be getting older, but the night's still young
(We're on the way)

So here we are, escaping from the world outside
(We're on the way)

G F Am C
Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone
(We're on the way)
G F Am C
Watch the party playing out in slow motion
(We're on the way)
G F Am C
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in
(We're on the way)
G F Am C G
Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim
(We're on the way)

F Am
The air hit me on the way out

Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?

I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
