[Verse 1]
In the moment I was losin' my head
And readin' too much and losin' my head and I was
Reachin' forward, I was already there
Readin' too much and losin' my head
This information caused a cut in the line
Now I'm remembering God and readin' too much, it's so nice
The print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now
In the morning there are things to be read
And words to be said, and food to be fed, but I won't be there
I'll be clutchin' on a megaphone pointed at my head
Could you be there, would you kindly
Scream this word for word, so loud and clear
I can't remember it all, it needs to be clear, I tell you
If the feeling drops out of your voice
Would you kindly pick it up

[Chorus]
This is how I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how I'll go out tonight, but I don't need a book

[Verse 2]
We're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're talkin' seas
We're talkin' everything you need, you should be workin' now
Not only askin' how
And the whereabouts of where you'll be, I don't suspect you will be thinkin'
When the brain is dead and the mind has taken over
This is a skill, this is not a game
Where have you been, are you with us? Can you hear us?
Got the megaphone pointed at you
[Chorus]
This is how I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how I'll go out tonight, but I don't need a book

[Interlude]
Mmm, oh
Mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, mm-mmm, ah

[Chorus]
This is how I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue, by the book tonight
This is how I'll go out tonight, but I don't need a book
Oh no

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-na-la-la-la, hey
In the moment I was losin' my head
And readin' too much and losin' my head and I was
Reachin' forward, I was already there
Losin' my head, readin' too much, and losin' my head
Woo! Shalalalala
