[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
