Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Are you stayin' awake for the lift off, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight, the sights tonight, the sights
Are you stayin' awake for the lift off, tonight
You'll never believe the sights tonight, the sights tonight, the sights
[Verse 2]
Mister Magpie, you got distracted the the gleam of the diamonds
As you flew by
But their dull glints does not impress
When there's a billion stars in the sky
I sit grippin' my pen like a bread knife
As I write
I'm leaving this Earth for the stars tonight
Now I'm runnin' to board the flight
[Verse 3]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Now I'll boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
And like Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I give you my mind to be blown
(Oh, oh, oh)
Now I'll boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Into the great unknown
Like Marcus Cicero
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Where there's life, there's hope'
[Verse 4]
I'm searching far and wide
To to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide
I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide
You're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets
[Verse 5]
Are you stayin' awake for the lift off, tonight
You'll never believe the sights tonight, the sights tonight, the sights
Are you stayin' awake for the lift off, tonight
You'll never believe the sights tonight, the sights tonight, the sights
[Verse 6]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Now I'll boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
And like Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I give you my mind to blown
(Oh, oh, oh)
Now I'll boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Like Marcus Cicero
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Where there's life, there's hope'
[Verse 7]
I'm searching far and wide
To find a planet to orbit
Far and wide
I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide
You're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets
[Verse 8]
It's over now
And I'm a little bit petrified
Of what's to come
Yeah, my head's a bit stir fried
It's over now
And I'm a little unqualified
But fire up the rockets
[Verse 9]
I'm searching
Far and wide
To find a planet to orbit
Far and wide
I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide
You're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets
Huh
