  • Popular slogan in a bucket of paint
    Supercomputer on a jolly crusade
    Massaging your forearms, holding your gaze
    Stealing your thunder, washing your brain
    Trying not to wake up sleeping dogs, just because
    You're a lonely little hall of famer

    Tonight is heavy on one side, it's all a lie
    A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
    You've got something on your mind and so have I
    I can see it from here, oh

    Ten years later, it's been a decade
    Coming together in a suitable space
    Mystery boxes from which you cannot escape
    Sticking your neck out in a spiritual way

    Tonight is heavy on one side, it's all a lie
    A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
    You've got something on your mind and so have I
    I can see it from here, oh

    Alternate reality
    Sneak up on the sly, the way I know you like
    Please, don't fall in love with everything on opening night
    Flashback to infinity, just one more time

    (Tonight is heavy on one side)
    Tonight is heavy on one side, it's all a lie
    (A set of cherry red and white)
    A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
    (You've got something on your mind)
    You've got something on your mind and so have I
    I can see it from here Writer/s: Alexander David Turner
