Rattle Machine: All Systems Go!


ALL SYSTEMS GO!
(Music & Lyrics: Teemu)

Drowning in my sheets
that keep me floating
Hanging on a rubber band
yet turning stiff and blue

My grand defections and inventions
drank my wine
but left me into this hole
fighting to rise and shine

I watch his idle lips
spill out "good morning"
when all the indifference in his smile
speaks of yesterdays

Then at my window, I feel the wind blow
warm and kind
I hammer down the walls
that steal all air and light

There's no point in going insane
unless I pick the place and way
And it's...
Right here! Right now! Right on! Right out! Right or wrong,
I've gone out to play

[chorus]
All systems go!
Outside it's beautiful,
contagious, whoah-oh-oh
This time I won't come home
It's time to whoah-oh-oh

Transparent like a child
The crowd ignores me
Their favourite game is bitch'n'whine
and toys just on display

Above the rumble, I hear the sun call
out our names
It melts the box we're in
I want a ball, not a chain

[chorus]
