lyrics

There’s a line in the sand
In a far off land
It’s the starting gun for the big blue sun
And the men of steel
Are the squarest wheel
And the threat is real
And I want to run

Where to go?
I don’t know
Where to go?
I don’t know

There’s a way but we’re slow
So we’ll go with a no
With our phasers set to stun
With the flaws not addressed
We just make the best
As we all caress the big blue sun

Where to go?
I don’t know
Where to go?
I don’t know

Ladies and gentleman the next train arriving at platform one is the Boogieman, thank you

Where to go?
I don’t know
Where to go?
I don’t know

I don’t know where we’re going
I don’t know what to tell ya
I’m seeking the place where we can find shelter
Beams of the big blue sun we’re under
Bleaches the bones of a happy hereafter
When did the fear of the cold take over
Pinned in the corner with prospects of terror
Back to the wall when thoughts of the future
Are based on a skewed view with a fool picture
They must divide us before they can conquer
So they will spin you their stories of monsters
Misinformation, forked tongues flicker
How many feeding lost in their whispers
Now at the high noon blue sun lingers
Blinding the minds, corrupting decisions
But if we don’t listen
Then it can’t position itself in the focal point of our vision

Boom boom the Boogieman come
Boom boom the Boogieman come
Boom boom boom the Boogieman coming
Watch your back, my son

Boom boom the Boogieman come
Boom boom the Boogieman come
Boom boom boom the Boogieman coming
Watch your back, my son

Where to go?
I don’t know
Where to go?
I don’t know
