Just in case the lyrics don't get changed for some reason, Under here are the real lyrics: I had submitted the lyrics above with the mmm-dah stuff and i tried but just still couldn't get the words completely correct until i ordered the cd and read the lyrics:

We're all going. We're all going up.

Well the lampshade’s on fire and the lights go out, the room lit up and we ran about. Well this is what I'd really call a party now. Packed up our cars moved to the next town.

Well the lampshade’s on fire and the lights go out; this is what I'd really call a party now. Well fear makes us really really run around. This one’s done so where to now.

Our eyes light up we have no shame at all, well you all know what I’m talking about. Shave off my eyebrows let 'em fall to the ground, so I can’t look surprised right now.

Pack up again head to the next place, where we'll make the same mistakes. Burn it up or just chop it down this one's done, so where to now.

Well the lampshade's on fire and the lights go out, this is what I'd really call a party now. Well fear makes us really really run around, this one's done so where to now?


Our eyes light up we have no shame at all, well you all know what I'm talking about. The room lights up but we're still dancing around. We're having fun having some fun now.

Pack up again head to the next place, where we'll make the same mistakes. Open one up and let it fall to the ground. Pile out the door when it all runs out.

We're all going. We're all going up.

We have spines and other bones, we'll eat your food, we'll throw some stones.
 Well this is how it's always gone and this is how it's gonna go.

Well we're the human race, we're gonna party out this place, and then move on.

TOUGH LUCK

we'll kill you off and then make a clone. YEAH WE GOT SPINES AND WE HAVE BONES!!! This is how it's always gone and this is how it's gonna to go.

Our soft feelings are getting hurt. Oh we want you to do the work. Our ass looks great inside these jeans. We want just our water clean.

This is how it's always been and this is how it's gonna be. So you just move on.

The air’s on fire so we’re moving on. Better find another one cuz this one’s done. Waiting for the magic of the scientist's glove to PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH pull us up.

Spend some time floating out in space, find another planet make the same mistakes. Our minds all shatter when we climb on board hoping for the scientists to find another door.

Memory

We're all going. We're all going up.

Well the lampshade’s on fire and the lights go out, the room lit up and we ran about. Well this is what I'd really call a party now. Packed up our cars moved to the next town.

Well the lampshade’s on fire and the lights go out; this is what I'd really call a party now. Well fear makes us really really run around. This one’s done so where to now.

Our eyes light up we have no shame at all, well you all know what I’m talking...
