[Refrain]
Are you staying awake for the lift off tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the lift off tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight

[Verse 1]
Mr. Magpie, you got distracted by the gleam of the diamonds
As you flew by
But their dull glint does not impress
When there's a billion stars in the sky
I sit, gripping my pen like a bread knife
As I write
I'm leaving this Earth for the stars, tonight
And now I'm running to board the flight

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) Now I boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) And like Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) I give you my mind to be blown
(Oh, oh, oh) Now I boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Like Marcus Cicero
(Oh, oh, oh) While there's life, there's hope
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets

[Refrain]
Are you staying awake for the lift off tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the lift off tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) Now I boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) And like Jean-Jacques Rousseau
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) I give you my mind to be blown
(Oh, oh, oh) Now I boldly go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Into the great unknown
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Like Marcus Cicero
(Oh, oh, oh) While there's life, there's hope
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets
[Bridge]
It's over now
And I'm a little bit petrified
Of what's to come
Yeah, my head's a bit stir-fried
It's over now
And I'm a little unqualified
But fire up the rockets

[Chorus]
I'm searching far and wide to find a planet to orbit
Far and wide, I wanna scan and explore it
Far and wide, you're my new planet to orbit
So fire up the rockets
