Bm7
Flying saucers, levitation
Yo! I could do that
Get ready, for heavy duty
Go one, give it a chance
I saw your hair start to curl
So get up, write it down
You better wait for a while

Em
So take your hands out of your pockets
And get your face adjusted
I heard it, somebody lied
And I’m staring out the window
Gonna let this thing continue
In it’s natural time
Roundheads squareheads
Get settled in
You can hear my belly rumble
There’s a voice that starts to mumble
Woo! It’s starting to sing

Em
Protons, neutrons
I ate a rock from the moon
Got shicked once; shocked twice
Let’s see, what it can do
Man in the moon, moon in the man
I got a rock in my throat
Upside, up side down
My tummy start to talk (what it say?)

Gonna rock it ‘till I shock it
Gonna kick it ‘till I drop it
Woo!  Love at first sight
You can kick it, You can poke it
Ooh, I think you broke it
What about that!
Skin from a snake, blood from a stone
You know, that ain’t no lie
I got hundreds of expressions
Try to make a good impression
Woo!  Right between the eyes

I don’t mind - let me go
Sounds inside - I don’t know
Let me be - why not stay
I feel numb - let me play

I got wild imagination
Talkin’ transubstantiation
Any version will do
I got mass communication
I’m the human corporation
I ate a rock from the moon
Moon in the rock, rock in the moon
There’s a moon in my throat
You might think I’m wasting time
You might laugh but not for long
Hey! I’m working it out (work it out)

I don’t mind - let me go
Sounds inside - I don’t know
Let me be - why not stay
I feel numb - let me play
