Can you see the colours in the air?
Can you see, am I hallucinating ?
I look a down and I'm walking down the stairs
I look down but I'm still sleeping here
Is this lucid dreaming in my life?
I look down a 1000 miles (miles, miles)

Aaaaah
Better go down
Better go down
Aaah Aaaaah
Better go down
Better go down
Aaah

Can you see me floating in the air?
Can you wake me, I'm crying
I can see you, you're lying next to me
I can't wake you, I'm trying

Astral Projection, I'm getting out of here
Astral Projection
Aaaah aaaah aaaaah

Aaaaah
Better go down
Better go down
Aaah na na na na
Better go down
Better go down
Aaah

Aaah na na na na
Fly away
Fly away
I fly away
I fly away

The Cranberries

The Cranberries were an Irish band who found major international success throughout the 1990s as a part of the alternative rock movement. The group’s lineup included Dolores O'Riordan (singer and songwriter), Noel Hogan (guitarist and songwriter), Mike Hogan (bassist) and Fergal Lawler (drummer). Originally formed in 1989 under the name The Cranberry Saw Us, the band released an independent EP in 1991 that caught the attention of the industry. SPIN Magazine described the band’s sound as “dreamy swirl pop, midway between The Smiths and the Cocteau Twins cradling the will-o’-the-wispy vocals of Dolores O’Riordan.”

In 1992, the band began recording their first album for Island Records with Stephen Street, a producer best known for working with The Smiths. Their debut, Everybody Else is Doing It So Why Can’t We?, was initially ignored when released in early 1993, and it wasn’t until that fall—after the band opened for Suede and Duran Duran on their US tours—that MTV picked up on their single “Linger”. The song eventually peaked at #4 on the US Pop chart in 1994, and the album sold five million copies. Success around the world followed.

Later that year, the band released their sophomore album No Need To Argue, which went on to sell 7 million copies in the US. The lead single, “Zombie,” was a departure from the wistful love songs the band was known for, showcasing aggressive distorted guitars and a bold political message. The song was an immediate smash, hitting at #1 in several countries and topping the US Modern Rock chart. The follow-up single “Ode To My Family,” was a top 40 hit as well.
