Well, the moon sucked up the ocean tide
As Christians knelt close by her side
Ooh and others who were left behind

Silver lights in my eyes
Silver lights in my eyes

Now, some cried when the sun eclipsed
Yeah, and some fought for the broken bits
Mmm, while the rest flew off in rocket ships

Silver lights in my eyes
Silver lights in my eyes

Oh, yeah
Well it happened so quickly
Lord, never no time to wonder
So we, we jump on board
And we take off like thunder
(Spectacle in the night)
Yea, we off like thunder, ow

Ooh, here I sit on foreign land
Yeah, and there’s so many things I don’t understand
Yea, the reasons for the life of man

Silver lights in my eyes
Silver lights in my eyes
Shinin’
(Silver lights) shinin’ down (in my eyes)
No I ain’t afaid (silver lights)
Take me, take me now (in my eyes)
