[Verse 1]
We are young, we can break
Watch us fall
We can take some train
Down to the sea
We are glass, we are glass
We are real, you can touch
Just for now
And I say
"Hey you, which way is down?"
We are glass, we are glass

[Verse 2]
We are cold
We're not supposed to cry
But it's all just a thought
Here am I
We are glass, we are glass
Old man falls, old man cries
Pain must ache
The youth, I just watched how they move
We are glass, we are glass

[Chorus]
They run fast impressions
Of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past with telephones
They scream
Well, would you
Turn all this down
Turn all this down

[Verse 3]
You are replaced
You are you
And now dreams are real
And dreams are all we need
We are glass, we are glass

[Chorus]
They run fast impressions
Of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past with telephones
They scream
Well, would you
Turn all this down
Turn all this down

[Outro dialogue]
I'd like to say thank you to you for coming
And there's the crew that I've canceled this run-in for us, especially to them
And to Danny that looks after me
And here we are, hang on, shut up
Oh yeah, me mom and dad, they've come
And then this lot, hahaha
The moose, that's Dennis
Right, this is Christopher
That's Rrussell
That's Cedric
Lost your wallet, sir?
And this is, oh, hang on, that's Paul
And that's Gary Numan, he sings for us
