[Intro: Beyoncé]
Drink from me, drink from me (Oh ah, oh ah)
That we shoot across the sky
Got me feeling drunk and high
Symphony (So high, so high)
That we shoot across the sky

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river dried up
You came to rain a flood

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Beyoncé]
Said drink from me, drink from
When I was so thirsty
Poured on a symphony
Oh, now I just can’t get enough
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
Yo, when I'm low, low, low, low

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Ah, oh ah, oh ah
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh ah, oh ah, oh ah
Now I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Woo

[Verse 2: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Beyoncé]
Oh, angel sent from up above
I feel you coursing through my blood
Life is a drink and your love’s about
To make the stars come out, yeah

[Verse 2: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Beyoncé]
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
Yo, when I'm low, low, low, low

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Ah, oh ah, oh ah
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh ah, oh ah, oh ah
I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high

[Bridge: Beyoncé & Chris Martin]
Ah, oh ah, oh ah
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
So high (So high), so high (So high)
Sing it now
Ah, oh ah (Oh ah), oh ah (Oh ah)
I'm feeling drunk and high
(So, so, so, so, so)
So high, so high

[Outro: Chris Martin & Beyoncé, Beyoncé]
That I shoot across the sky
That I shoot across the
That I shoot across the sky
Let me shoot across the sky
Let me shoot across the
Let me shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the
Let me shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the

Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997 by University College London classmates Chris Martin (vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar) and Guy Berryman (bass), along with drummer Will Champion. The band’s name comes from Tim Crompton, a student who was in the same university as the members (University College London) at the time.

Once they issued their debut, Parachutes in 2000, many saw them as a Radiohead knock-off. No doubt, Coldplay’s sound —elegant, melodic, vaguely spacey and very dramatic — bore plenty of similarity to mid-1990s Radiohead. But the group’s hooks, sharpened by frontman Chris Martin’s ability to pull heartstrings, and the their willingness to evolve their sound, gave Coldplay staying power. The greatest examples are second album A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), which was generally considered to be musically and lyrically more mature and sophisticated, and less obviously the product of one particular influence, and the fourth one Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), where producer Brian Eno influenced the band to broaden their sound and led to various sonic landscapes. Both won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and spawned sucessful singles such as “Clocks”, “Viva la Vida”, “In My Place”, “Violet Hill” and “The Scientist”.

As a result, the band became one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium, with over 80 million albums sold – even if along with the acclaim came a vocal opposition, due to the supposedly derivative nature, the overtly emotional lyrics, and the fact they’re good-mannered English boys instead of wild rockstars. As a result, Coldplay are thought as either a punchline showing all that’s wrong with 21st century rock, or a really good if overplayed band with songs tailor made for stadium performances.
