Take the knowledge away Suck the breath from the clay Break the bone to the ground Leave the soul where it's found Lead the soul where it's found Through the passage of time One day soon to arrive Silver bird in the sky Leave this world all behind Leave the world all behind Taking over the world They're taking over our world Taking over the world They're taking over our world Looking out from inside When you see what you find Out of sight out of mind Meet the seed of mankind Meet the seed of mankind Taking over the world They're taking over our world Taking over the world They're taking over our world Higher and higher Spiralling through the sky Vertically rising Through a white wall of space It's further and further Pushing on through the clouds Perfect response To falling from grace No need to look For you are found No need to speak I hear the sound On the street Taking over the world They're taking over our world Taking over the world They're taking over our world Taking over the world They're taking over our world Taking over the world They're taking over our world And now you're learning to fly
