[Verse 1]
Ooh, baby, don't you know I suffer?
Ooh, baby, can't you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight
Oooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight

[Chorus]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
(Ooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the...
(Ooooooooooooh, you set my soul...)
Into the supermassive

[Verse 2]
I thought I was a fool for no one
But ooh, baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight
Oooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight

[Chorus]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
(Ooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the...
(Ooooooooooooh, you set my soul...)
Into the supermassive

[Bridge]
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the...
Into the supermassive

[Chorus]
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
(Ooooooooooooh, you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the...
(Ooooooooooooh, you set my soul...)
Into the supermassive

[Outro]
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Muse

Muse is an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, consisting of Matthew Bellamy (guitarist, keyboardist, singer, songwriter, middle of the picture), Christopher Wolstenholme (bassist, background vocalist, to the left of the picture), and Dominic Howard (drummer, to the right of the picture). They often infuse classical piano and strings (and sometimes even choirs) with catchy guitar and piano hooks.

Muse is mostly known due to their alternative genre of music and also their live performances.

Some have compared Muse to other bands such as Radiohead; Though this analogy has faded during past years since Muse has changed its taste.
