Spaceship Earth (II. Angoscioso)

[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]

This was meant to be

An ark of meaning, a miracle

In a deep, deep sea

Of nothingness

So can you set me free?

I'm tired of dreaming, it's unbearable

I'm in a deep, deep sea

Of nothingness

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds]

Now we're spiraling out of control

It seems like the passengers have hijacked the ship

We're edging towards a black hole

We are gods, I think I'm losing my grip

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

So can you take, take, take the wheel?

What the hell is even happening?

This is all so, so surreal

So can you take, take, take thе wheel?

I can feel my brain unraveling

I just don't know what to feel

[Verse 2: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds & Rory Clewlow]

We ran from our problems without addrеssing the cause

We started again without a moment of pause

We took to the stars, made a junkyard out of Mars

Dried up reservoirs, champagne, and cigars

Mass extinctions and wildfires

We shot down the high fliers, but more kept appearing

Endless racketeering

It's kind of like they were mass-produced

And now all the pricks have come home to roost

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

(The wheel, the wheel, the wheel, the wheel)

(This is all so, so surreal)

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]

So can you take, take, take the wheel?

What the hell is even happening?

This is all so, so surreal

So can you take, take, take the wheel?

I can feel my brain unraveling

I just don't know what to feel

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Rory Clewlow, Rory Clewlow]

So can you take, take, take the wheel?

(Take the wheel, take the wheel)

What the hell is even happening?

This is all so, so surreal

(So surreal, so surreal)

So can you take, take, take the wheel?

(Take the wheel, take the wheel)

This is not how I imagined it

I just don't know what to feel
