lyrics

What a big surprise
Six helicopters in the sky
They've come for you and I
A separation, ritual splice

The pilot's face I recognise
He's come to steal away a life
A life I thought which could be mine
The ??? descend tonight

Rushed to different isles
Now I've been forced to sacrifice
Escort to my exile
Pursuit it seems a waste of time

The car it speeds close behind
In back of limousines she rides
I'm bound, I'm gagged, I'm locked inside
The trunk I'm now confined

And it makes me mad
Look at what you've done
Abort your plan
The captain's won

We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
Reassemble the equation and I can't pretend that
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
There is always one thing and then it's the next
