[Verse 1]

The great beyond is underwhelming

(A waste of effort)

I mean, at first it had its charms

(I ran 'em through and through)

I've touched the stars, witnessed creation

(Love, lost and lassoed)

I'm out of new, sound the alarm

(Infinity eats you)

I'm bored, I'm buggin' and I'm brazen

(My bones are buzzin')

My after-bucket list is wiped

(I miss the other side)

Then, from the black, prances a presence

(He's got a cool hat)

He whispers "you should get a life"

(My spirit starts to rise)

All aboard, comе and cease to be dеceased

You wanna be where the grass is greener?

An incantation, a corporeal feeling

A breakthrough, a breakdance

I can't resist


[Pre-Chorus]

(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee

Hi diddle dum dee die)

(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee

Hi diddle dum dee die)


[Chorus]

Hanging euphoria by a thread

Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead

I guess I wasn't satisfied to begin

I wanted more than the everything at the end


[Verse 2]

Shaking my legs, infused with new sensation

The mortals retching at my restoration

What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps it's the putrescence

You've been bamboozled, kid

I thought I wanted this

Waiting in eternity with eyes on the horizon

Every moment passing silently by

Careful what you wish for


[Pre-Chorus]

(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee

Hi diddle dum dee die)

(Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee

Hi diddle dum dee die)


[Chorus]

Hanging euphoria by a thread

Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead

I guess I wasn't satisfied to begin

I wanted more than the everything at the end


[Bridge]

All this time I've looked away

Was it ever really greener?

Never been here

Not really here

Keep chasing every fleeting hunger

And betting on the next

Waiting in eternity with eyes on the horizon

Every moment passing silently by

Careful what you wish for

(Hanging euphoria by a thread

Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead

When I'm dead)


[Chorus]

Hanging euphoria by a thread

Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead

I guess I wasn't satisfied to begin

I wanted more than the everything at the end
