Shouting love at the world.4 3 4 -4 -3 4 -3 -3
Back then we were like cavemen,

But we map the moon and the stars,

Then we forgave them.

We were holding back the flood they said we’d never dance again.
Bleeding, but none of us leaving,
Watch your mouth son or you’ll find yourself floating home.
Here we come now on a dark star, seeing demons, not what we are.
Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now will end today.
There’s progress now where there once was none, where there once was none, then everything came along
Although no one understood, we were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain.
There was more of them than us now they’ll never dance again.

There was more of them than us now they’ll never dance again.
Now we’ll never dance again.
Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh aah, Oh ahh, Oh ahh...
