Ah, how good it feels - we're helping
Apart from that we're going on like before
Tuning out your conscience
Isn't so difficult
Things are running like clockwork - honestly,
Still on the rails and doing pretty good
Sure, looked at in too much light
you might see a bit of anger.
Ah - forget - it!
They stay outside, we're inside
The party's on in our house
We're simply celebrating the act of forgetting
Last one out turn off the lights.
We're world champions in forgetting things
How much we love to fool ourselves
And if someone opens up our eyes
We'll shut them behind the nearest door.
And it would often have been so easy
For things to have gone another way
But against that, always excuses
Humans are innately comfortable
They stay outside, we're inside
The party's on in our house
We're simply celebrating the the act of forgetting
Last one out turn off the lights.
We're simply celebrating the the act of forgetting
Last one out turn off the lights.
Into the darkness
slowly creeps a premonition
How it was and how it would be
if you turned the principle around
Clever heads are making plans
Skilful hands are building a new house
Joy is celebrating a party here
And no-one's turning the lights off
They stay outside, we're inside
The party's on in our house
We're simply celebrating the the act of forgetting
Last one out turn off the lights.
We're simply celebrating the the act of forgetting
Last one out turn off the lights.
