Lyrics[]
[Leaked lyrics]:
When you switch on the news at six
Do you believe what they say?
Rock and roll heavy metal baby
Like a broken record, it's all the same
And sadly I'm mad
I want you to take me tonight
In blood diamond, blue velvet nights
Jupiter rising, dawn past daylight
Hollywood Jesus my own faux comfort
Crying in your arms when I'm hurt
I have ten million questions
With no ease by your divine interventions
I want to fly
Beyond the veil where angels glide
I want to understand
Is there peace on the other side
Is there peace on the other side
When you switch on the news at six
Do you believe what they say?
Hollywood starlet overboard
It's crazy they say
And sadly i'm mad
I want you to take me tonight
In blood diamond, blue velvet nights
Jupiter rising, dawn past daylight
Hollywood Jesus my own faux comfort
Crying in your arms when I'm hurt
I have ten million questions
With no ease by your divine interventions
I want to fly
Beyond the veil where angels glide
I want to understand
Is there peace on the other side
Is there peace on the other side
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
See you walking on that blue Pacific
I can see you bathing in the summer light
Glimmering down it's almost mythic
You got game boy
You got game boy
You got game boy
When you switch on the news at six
Do you believe what they say?
