lyrics

And the day's
A blast of light
Shooting into my chest
And out the other side
It pins me to the seat in the cage
A fossilised exhibit!
Behind glass
A fossilised exhibit!
Surrounded by lasers
A fossilised exhibit!

A fossilised exhibit!
Surrounded by lasers

And I throw the stones at the machines
They skip between those restraining beams
And smash away at their blinking lights
Can I escape these restraints tonight?

And my brain's
A jet of juice
That shoots right through my skull
Into the air outside
It fills me with the will to proceed
A freed prisoner
From behind bars
A freed prisoner
Escaped from the lasers
A freed prisoner
From behind bars
A freed prisoner
Escaped from the lasers
Escaped from the lasers

And I throw the stones at the machines
They skip between the restraining beams
And smash away at the blinking lights
Can I escape these restraints tonight?

I skipped stones across your heart
And into the sea
These days I'm falling apart
But don't you worry about me
