lyrics

Take us on the balloon,
we hear the end is coming all too soon
There'll be fire, there's gonna be ice,
there's gonna be soldiers in the streets and they don't play nice

Rising up the thermal vent, we're in it now
Things are looking up for us, but we're still running out
we're still running out of the O2
Aren't you?

Drop us into the lake
We'd rather swim than prolong this mistake
We caught fire, hit with ice,
even Zeus took a shot and he don't play nice

Diving, underneath the water there's a cave
filled with shiny krugerrands but we're still running out
we're still running out of the O2
Aren't you?

It's a long way up
(If you see me coming, please move out the way)

If you died in the night, who'd notice?
