verse
PEOPLE PANIC SEE THE SIGN, WAITING FOR THE SUN TO SHINE
CALL ON GODS THAT CANNOT HEAR, LOCKED IN HOUSES WRAPPED IN FEAR
chorus
THE WORLD?S ON FIRE NOWHERE TO HIDE, I WANT MY WOMAN BY MY SIDE
PEOPLE DYING IN THE STREET, THE OCEANS BOILING AT MY FEET
WELCOME TO 2005.... WE?VE ARRIVED
verse
OLD MAN TELLS ME HOW IT WAS, THEY SAY IT CAME ABOUT BECAUSE
MEN CAN?T LIVE LET OTHERS BE, AND YOU ARE NOT THE SAME AS ME

WELCOME TO 2005.... WE?VE ARRIVED
bridge
SANDMAN COME IN SOFTLY, SLUMBER TAKE ME BACK
THE DRUMS RECALL YOUR HEARTBEAT AND THE RHUMBA STARTS TO SWAY
I?M WATCHING FROM THE HARBOUR WALL AS THE CITY BURNS AWAY
WELCOME TO 2005.... WE?VE ARRIVED
