[Intro]
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye (eyes)
[Verse 1]
One day they're gonna make electrical implants in the brain
that simulate raving type sensations away
I just can't imagine living without things we live with,
can't imagine not knowing what science has learned
One day they'll lie on the roof of their rides,
thinking we're as stupid as we think of people before this time
We make pains to stay sane but waste days on games,
Online against some fucking whining little child
[Chorus]
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye (eyes)
[Verse 2]
The things you think of when you're drinking on a bonnet
Like how war telepathic headsets inview getting on it
Imagine a girl at work gave you her number she wanted to flirt,
but all thoughts to her mind are blocked until she gets off after work
Die young stay pretty,
try once try living
But don't fade me up son, to the maid I love
[Chorus]
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye (eyes)
[Verse 3]
So remind me what I said when you find me in bed
Which I even on death lying up many men
May I be laid out clean
May my beats fade me green
May I lie I may obscene
Maybe I Maybelline
Don't paint me black man
Blame the sat-nav
My way was mad man, but we made it back
[Chorus]
on the roof of your car at the stars
on the roof of your car at the stars
on the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
[Verse 4]
On the brink of a list of insistings with a fist
One blink and that kiss
Is a sinking bliss
Hats off all you
have a blast on full view
Things written on my wrist
So I might think after I'm pissed
[Chorus]
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye (eyes)
