Enter Shikari – The Sights lyrics

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 glint does not impress
When there's a billion stars in the sky
I sit gripping my pen like a breadknife
As I write
I'm leaving this Earth for the stars tonight
And now I'm running to board the flight

Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
And like Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I give you my mind to be blown

Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
Like Marcus Cicero
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 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

Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
And like Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I give you my mind to be blown

Now I'll boldly go
Into the great unknown
Like Marcus Cicero
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 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 and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets
