[Verse 1]

You fools, you geniuses

Take your flight to the dawn

The all in its emptiness

Makes a break for the sun

And the moon in its sights

Keeps the tide from rolling on

[Chorus]

On, on

[Verse 2]

There in the afterglow

When the feelings are all gone

The stars float across the sky

To escape from the sun

But the high life is a straggler

And it keeps on holding on

[Chorus]

On, on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Somewhere in my empty head

I hear a distant song

And it sings to the end of day

And after the day is gone

Like an old broken record

It just keeps on playing on

[Chorus]

On, on

[Outro]

Like an old broken record

It just keeps on playing on

On, on
