Now there's a war burning out there
and it comes to tow your heart away so watch out!
Watch out people now!
It's a good day to take one's life
but I rather fall in love than fall in line
They say we gotta defend our freedom
but the only freedom from their fire is to run run run
So we're gonna steal a rich kids bike
and me and Jessica are gonna take it for a hike
we're gonna fight for as long as our hearts beat
we're gonna make it for that island in the summer heat
And we're gonna make it for the skies tonight
we're gonna make it for the skies tonight
we're looking at the same stars way up high
but we don't need to confuse our stars with exploding fire
Well I'm watching the war on TV
and I'm watching children die
So I switch the fucking channels to a comedy show
to avoid to start to cry
I don't know what goes on in peoples minds
how can you drop a bomb over someone elses life?
There was this clip of a girl whos heart stopped
when the bombs began to fall right over her neighborhood
they said she died from fear of dying
but I believe she died because all of her love for this world was gone
She's gonna make it for the skies tonight
she's gonna make it for the skies tonight
she's gonna make it for the skies tonight
and I hope she wont confuse those stars with exploding fire
You're all tense and so stressed up
your heart is beating so hard and fast, will it ever stop?
I think you need to come with us on our bike
maybe you can bring a tent to sleep in for the night
We will need it on that island in the sun
eating fruits on the beach all day long
You know there's a thing called island time
and it's not as uptight as usual time - it's more relaxed
So when the night comes a sneaking to tow your heart away
I wanna run in the sand with you
'cause tonight we're gonna make it for the skies alright
We're gonna make it for the sky tonight
we're gonna make it for the sky tonight
we're gonna ask the sky fucking why tonight!!
But I'm afraid we wont get our answers from way up high
