Lyrics
Sit back, you're overloaded
Feet flying up in the air
And the ground keeps passing faster
Come back, you're overzealous
Sinking as you sail
And you can't do this forever
If you don't come down
Off the heels of your elation
Then you won't hear a sound
When you finally crash that spaceship
In through the ceiling... of our house
So sad, lost all surveillance
Quiet satellites
Could you speak a little louder?
Relax, we want to thank you
Keep you on our side
We'll pay you lots of money
We've seen this road before
Same foot in slamming door
And it won't make a difference
To leave it on autopilot
