Shut your eyes now

The world looks better

with the lights out

To create and invent

We can be giants now

So let's wait for the blackout

To believe and pretend

Who's to hold up the sky

Who's to tame the volcanoes

on mountains high?

And every storm has got its own eye

So long so long so long
F#m A
(And someday we'll say goodbye to goodbye)

So long so long so long, sail on (2x)
