This is a love letter to our planet
And every single home there is
To our solar system
And the Milky Way
And our whole Universe
I'm so sorry
We're going home, we're going home
Children run on up ahead, keys in their hand
We were going home, we were going home
But mummy and daddy left on the stove
Trusted that the fire alarm would work
But without abode, how we supposed to grow
And without shelter, we're just overgrown
Rocking chair still sways, in sticky dark mist
Father, grandmother said that we would inherit this
But uncle refuses to mend the roof because he enjoys the rain
Says he'll have moved out by the time that we need to install drains
And aunt says she worked very hard, so she deserves to reign
She'll keep knitting scratchy sweaters, even though they cause death pains
We were going home, we want to go home
But we're losing hope, half of them don't know
We close curtains to cope, we've put on a show
And ignorance is bliss, the gas is on invisible
Naturally odourless, but they put scents in it for safety
Why? You gonna leave us here inside? Oh why
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh we are
Lost in space
And our house
And our house, is on fire
An alarm doesn't wait till it sees flames
I'm not saying your pleasure is useless
I'm just pointing out past is redundant
Present is done, and I want a refund for what's beyond the blood red horizon
I can see it please, evacuate to where, try save the children
Cause our house in on fire
