The Sights Songtext
von Enter Shikari

Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You′ll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight

Mr. Magpie, you got distracted by the gleam of the diamonds, as you flew by
But their dull glimpse does not impress
When there′s a billion stars in the sky
I see you gripping my pen like a bread-knife
As I write, I'm leaving this Earth for the stars tonight
And now I'm running to board the flight


Now I 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-oh)
Now I boldly go (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Into the great unknown (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Like Marcus Cicero (oh-oh-oh-oh)
While there′s life, there′s hope

I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan it and explore it
Far and wide, you′re my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets

Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You′ll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights

(Oh-oh-oh) now I 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-oh)
Now I boldly go (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Into the great unknown (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Like Marcus Cicero (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Where there's life, there′s hope


I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan it and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets

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

(I'm searching) far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan it and explore it
Far and wide, you′re my new planet to orbit
So, fire up the rockets (ah, ah, ah)
