Lyrics

If you feel that it's real, I'm on trial

And I'm here, yeah, in your prison

Like a coin in your mint, I am dented

And I'm spent with high treason

Through a glass eye of throne

Is the one danger zone

Take me to the pilot for control

Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Well, I know he's not old

And I'm told, and I'm told he's a virgin

For he may be she but what I'm told

Is never, never, never for certain

Through a glass eye of throne

Is the one danger zone

Take me to the pilot for control

Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Well, I know he's not old

And I'm told, and I'm told he's a virgin

For he may be she but what I'm told

Is never, never, never for certain

Through a glass eye of throne

Is the one danger zone

Take me to the pilot for control

Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Take me, take me there

Take me, take me there

Take me, take me there

Take me, take me there

Take me, take me there

You better take me to the pilot
