You can drive a car full speed into the ocean
Only to find that car will sink while still in motion
That's why someone sometime somewhere built a boat
Because a boat, you'll notice, always stays afloat
Most people realize we can't control the weather
And they accept they'll never sprout a single feather
They simply put up an umbrella when it rains
And fly across the sky in aeroplanes
We're sending spaceships on a journey to the moon
We're turning nighttime into day when darkness lingers
Tulips for Christmas and a mistletoe for early June
We've turned the world into a hothouse
Now we're bound to burn our fingers (Burn our fingers)
With a scientist, a mouse can try his games on
He will manipulate its genes until the brain's gone
When the little mouse is twice its normal size
The scientist will go and win the Nobel prize
We're sending spaceships on a journey to the moon
We're turning nighttime into day when darkness lingers
Tulips for Christmas and a mistletoe for early June
We've turned the world into a hothouse
Now we're bound to burn our fingers
If we keep on trying, we may well blow up the Universe (Wooh...)
If we keep on trying, we may end up like Einstein in reverse (Wooh...)
Woah, oh...
We're sending spaceships on a journey to the moon
We're turning nighttime into day when darkness lingers
Tulips for Christmas and a mistletoe for early June
We've turned the world into a hothouse
Now we're bound to burn our fingers
Only to find that car will sink while still in motion
That's why someone sometime somewhere built a boat
Because a boat, you'll notice, always stays afloat
Most people realize we can't control the weather
And they accept they'll never sprout a single feather
They simply put up an umbrella when it rains
And fly across the sky in aeroplanes
We're sending spaceships on a journey to the moon
We're turning nighttime into day when darkness lingers
Tulips for Christmas and a mistletoe for early June
We've turned the world into a hothouse
Now we're bound to burn our fingers (Burn our fingers)
With a scientist, a mouse can try his games on
He will manipulate its genes until the brain's gone
When the little mouse is twice its normal size

Woah, oh...

We're turning nighttime into day when darkness lingers
Tulips for Christmas and a mistletoe for early June
We've turned the world into a hothouse
Now we're bound to burn our fingers
