[E] [F#m] [A]
[D]
The world's spinning round like a [Am] loony balloon,
[C] Heading for a collision with [D] Saturn and Mars.
And we're narrowly missing the [Am] man in the moon,
Spinning [C] out of [G] control, crashing into the [D] stars.
Have we [G] all lost our gravity, reason and sanity?
Is this the price that [D] we pay?
Have [G] we all lost our way on this loony [D] balloon?
Drift away, [C] just drift away,
[B] [Am] It's [C] so [D] easy to just drift away,
Drift away, just drift away,
[C] Drifting [D] away on this loony balloon.
[C] [D] He cares running out, the [A] computer's gone down,
[Am] [C] The mechanic just panicked, he's nowhere [D] to be found.
So automatic control is just [Am] spinning us round,
[C] No point screaming in space, you just [D] can't hear a sound.
[G] Now the pilot's gone mad, he just jumped overboard,
With a lunatic [D] smile on his face.
[G] And he laughed as he cut the umbilical cord,
Now he's drifting [D] forever in space.
Drift away, [A] just drift [B] away,
[Am] [C] It's so [G] easy to just drift [D] away,
Drift away, [Am] just drift away,
[C] Drifting [G] away on this loony [D] balloon.
[E] [C]
[G] [D] We're out of control on this loony [E] balloon,
[Am] [C] Narrowly missing [G] the planets [D] and stars,
Even optimists say that it's all [Am] gloom and doom,
[C] We've got to get somewhere or hit [D] something soon.
[G] First class and economy, we all played the game,
For selfish [D] profits and gain.
[F#m] [G] So together we'll all go insane on this [D] loony balloon.
Drift away, just drift away,
[Am] [C] Drifting away on this [D] loony balloon.
Drift away, just drift away,
