  • The arrow knows nothing of its target
    Tomorrow can take care of itself
    Your children are here to tell you:
    Do something new
    (Do something new)
    Or do something else

    Searching
    Searching for my sweet spot
    A little to the left
    A little to the right
    Standing on the brink of extinction
    Laughing all the way to the bank
    Taking leave of earthly temptations
    Yeah, right
    This body's a temporary home
    This body wants to take your body home

    There are no stars without space
    No inside without out
    No up without down
    Am I missing something?
    Missing as in I don't see it?
    Am I missing something?
    Missing out on a secret?
    Is there something that I lack?
    Something going on behind my back?
    The next stage in human evolution
    Happening on the outskirts of Luton

    It's a life or death situation
    To the girl with the hair like spun gold
    On the steps of the Underground station
    Am I missing something?
    (Am I missing something?)
    Am I missing something?
    (Am I missing something?)

    I don't wanna dance with the Devil
    But do you mind if I tap my foot?
    Am I missing something?
    Is it something good?

    Missing something good
    Missing something good

    Missing something good
    Missing something good

    Missing something
    Missing something
    Missing something (good?)

    Missing something
    Missing something good

    Waiting for my sponsorship deal
    Waiting for flares to come back in again
    In touch with the spirits of the depths
    Aspiring to be where he is

    Well, is there something that I lack?
    Something going on behind my back?
    Something going on somewhere that I can't see it?
    Am I missing something?
    Am I missing something?
    Am I missing something?
