The sound begins
The beat of life
We listened out for centuries, it's now arrived
They came to us through sandy skies
Surrounding our horizon with delight
Time stands still when you've got nowhere to go
(I bet you know, I bet you know just what I'm thinking)
Now we had a taste, we gotta know
Get out of this city, from under this curse
I'm gonna build myself a rocket to the Earth
We're leaving this nation, the place of our birth
I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth
We all stood tall, a billion souls
All crazed in admiration for your Rock And Roll
How came this from a world so cold?
Blockades of light, guitars of solid gold?
We heard all the sounds your planet made
(It blew my mind)
Like "Here I Go Again" and "Purple Haze"
Get out of this city, from under this curse
I'm gonna build myself a rocket to the Earth
We're leaving this nation, the place of our birth
I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth
I don't mind if lights are bright at all
Alright it's just fine, it's cool
I don't care if lights are bright at all
Alright it's just fine, it's cool
I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth
Wrap my eyes in bandages, oh baby this one's gonna hurt
Get out of this city, from under this curse
I'm gonna build myself a rocket to the Earth
We're leaving this nation, the place of our birth
I'm gonna build myself a rocket
Nothing's gonna stop it
I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth
