[Verse 1: 2D]
When you're smoking tin foil in the morning
It's gonna be a cold day
When you're keeping everything inside you
It can only hurt you
[Chorus 1: 2D]
Unrelated sounds
The sun will shine again
You hold it in your hands
[Verse 2: 2D]
This land is a young land, let it stay that way
Its pollution only turns you into
Something you don't want to see in the water
A reflection of them that you receive
[Chorus 2: 2D]
You don't own the sun
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're all in love
With aluminium
[Interlude: Ghostigital]
The cling and a clang is the metal in my head when I walk
I hear a sort of, this tinging noise
"Cling clang" The cling clang
So many things happen while walking
The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk
Freaks my balance out
So the natural thought is just clogged up, totally clogged up
So we need to unplug these dams and make the natural flow
It sort of freaks me out
We need to unplug the dams
You cannot stop the natural flow of thought with a cling and a clang
[Chorus 3: 2D]
And wake me up again until
We're aluminium
You hold it in your hands
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
When you're smoking tin foil in the morning
It's gonna be a cold day
When you're keeping everything inside you
It can only hurt you
[Chorus 1: 2D]
Unrelated sounds
The sun will shine again
You hold it in your hands
[Verse 2: 2D]
This land is a young land, let it stay that way
Its pollution only turns you into
Something you don't want to see in the water
A reflection of them that you receive
[Chorus 2: 2D]
You don't own the sun
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're all in love
With aluminium
[Interlude: Ghostigital]

We need to unplug the dams

We're aluminium
You hold it in your hands
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
