There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
 
There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we have to care
 
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
 
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
 
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
 
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittering galas
Without even trying
 
There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans
