This World

Where were you when the sky turned to clouds?
I remember you and the thunderous sounds
You were orbiting the mind of a schoolboy you know
Then the lights dimmed, we all gathered round
Through the bastion, through the way
You’ll get out when the door slides down
It’s off my mark, it’s a go
As the rocket sails and the engine fails
I start screaming out, «can they come back to this world?»
There’s no downlink, and the billowing smoke hides the cause of it
Still nobody knows what is going on
«Is that supposed to happen, Miss Stone?»
«Pardon me, boys,» she rose
With the shouts up and down the hall
People running around, what just happened?
And this must be some kind of joke
As the rocket sails and the engine fails
I start screaming out, «can they come back to this world?»
And I tried my best to break your fall
And I cried 'cause I had no control
There must have been escape hatches
But the fact is, no one lived
At the bar, they are all bunching around
Ten years later, yet you still draw a crowd
I am out of wits, and head over heels, that’s my girl
As the rocket sails and the engine fails
I start screaming out, «can they come back to this world?»
