I awoke in a sweat from the American Dream

They were loading the bomb bay of the iron bird

Giving their blood to the Doomsday Machine

I screamed into the wind my goodbye to the world



It was dark in the desert so we walked through the night

The vessel was waiting where we had been led

An awesome machine to tear through the sky

The last exodus from the land of the dead



[Chorus:]

We are swimming in the lunar sea

Drowning in insanity

Look to the shore you will see

Your leaders were lying

Nobody's driving!



Upon the horizon is the earth I once knew

Now a red ball of light suspended in space

So we erected a stone on the shore of the sea

As a grim epitaph to the lost human race



[Repeat first verse]



[Chorus:]

We are swimming in the lunar sea

Drowning in insanity

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Our world is dying

And nobody's driving!
