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

D C Em G
Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone
(We're on the way)
D C Em G
Watch the party playing out in slow motion
(We're on the way)
D C Em G
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in
(We're on the way)

Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim
(We're on the way)

C Em
The air hit me on the way out

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