[Silence]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Saxophone, Drums, Electric Guitar, Percussion]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nLook around
\n(What’s that sound?)
\nSomething’s changing
\n(And rearranging)<\/p>\n

Up above
\n(From below)
\nSomething’s moving
\n(Where’d it go?)<\/p>\n

The sky is wide
\n(The world is turning)
\nNothing to hide
\n(The future’s burning)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nIt came in slowly
\n(Then all at once)
\nQuietly growing
\n(Some sort-a cosmic response)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe atmosphere
\n(Of fear)…
\nDid disappear<\/p>\n

It’s a takeover
\n(The future… is sure…)
\nTaking over the present
\n(Heaven sent!)<\/p>\n

Thanks for giving us…
\nThis fine time!
\n(It’s fabulous!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTake over the seasons
\n(Take over the flow)
\nTake over the reasons
\n(We thought we should know)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIs war or peace…
\n(In the atmosphere!)
\nFears release…
\n(Or fears near?)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThe atmosphere
\n(Of fear)…
\nDid disappear<\/p>\n

It’s a takeover
\n(The future… is sure…)
\nTaking over the present
\n(Heaven sent!)<\/p>\n

Thanks for giving us…
\nThis fine time!
\n(It’s fabulous!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nTake over
\n(Discover)
\nTakeover
\n(Uncover)<\/p>\n

The future
\n(Is sure)
\nPresent
\n(A present)
\n… of the present.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere
\n(Is here)<\/p>\n

The takeover
\n(Is now)<\/p>\n

Thanks for giving us…<\/p>\n

This fine time!<\/p>\n

(It’s fabulous!)<\/p>\n

…Absolutely fabulous.<\/p>\n

[Fade out]<\/p>\n

[Silence]<\/p>\n

[End]<\/p>\n
