[Intro]
Look around
(What’s that sound?)
Something’s changing
(And rearranging)
Up above
(From below)
Something’s moving
(Where’d it go?)
The sky is wide
(The world is turning)
Nothing to hide
(The future’s burning)
[Verse 1]
It came in slowly
(Then all at once)
Quietly growing
(Some sort-a cosmic response)
[Refrain]
The atmosphere
(Of fear)…
Did disappear
It’s a takeover
(The future… is sure…)
Taking over the present
(Heaven sent!)
Thanks for giving us…
This fine time!
(It’s fabulous!)
[Verse 2]
Take over the seasons
(Take over the flow)
Take over the reasons
(We thought we should know)
[Bridge]
Is war or peace…
(In the atmosphere!)
Fears release…
(Or fears near?)
[Refrain]
The atmosphere
(Of fear)…
Did disappear
It’s a takeover
(The future… is sure…)
Taking over the present
(Heaven sent!)
Thanks for giving us…
This fine time!
(It’s fabulous!)
[Outro]
Take over
(Discover)
Takeover
(Uncover)
The future
(Is sure)
Present
(A present)
… of the present.
The atmosphere
(Is here)
The takeover
(Is now)
Thanks for giving us…
This fine time!
(It’s fabulous!)
…Absolutely fabulous.
[Fade out]
