Now that you've found it, it's gone 
Now that you feel it, you don't 
You've gone off the rails 

So don't get any big ideas 
they're not going to happen 
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep of the innocent I am born again
In a fast german car I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe x2 

High up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all of these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.

They're all 
uptight x6

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
 Take me onboard their beautiful ship 
Show me the world as I'd love to see it
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I've finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be alright
Alright
I'm alright
Alright
I'm just 
uptight x8 

Wake... from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today.. we escape
We escape.

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before.. all hell.. breaks loose.

Breathe... keep breathing
Don’t lose.. your nerve.
Breathe... keep breathing
I can’t do this.. alone.

Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There’s such a chill
Such a chill.

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope that your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one
In everlasting peace

We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke

The walls abandon shape
You've got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatose

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had

What's the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgun

Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance

Jigsaws falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You've got a light you can feel it on your back
You've got a light you can feel it on your back
Jigsaws falling into place

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does...

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
 God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah! 

Motorways  and tramlines 
Starting and then stopping 
Taking off and landing 
The emptiest of feelings 
Disappointed people 
Clinging onto bottles 
When it  comes it's so so disappointing 
Let down and hanging on 
Crushed like  a bug in the   ground 
Let down and hanging  around 

Shell smashed 
Juices flowing
Wings twitch 
Legs are  going
Don't get sentimental 
It always ends up drivel 
One  day 
I am gonna grow wings 
A chemical reaction 
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

You know 
You know where  you are  with x2 
Floor  collapses floating bouncing back 
And one day you'll know where you are

One day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around 

Karma police, arrest this man 
He talks in maths 
He buzzes like a fridge 
He's like a detuned radio 

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is 
Making me feel ill 
And we have crashed her party 

This is what you get 
This is what you get 
This is what you get when you mess with us 

Karma Police 
I've given all I can 
It's not enough 
I've given all I can 
But we're still on the payroll 

This is what you get 
This is what you get 
This is what you get when you mess with us 

And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself 
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself 

For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself 
For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself 
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself 

In the early version, the first verse went: 
Karma police arrest this girl 
She stares at me 
As if she owns the world and 
We have crashed her party
