[Verse 1]
Three-shot certainty, that’s amateur hour
Got the resource that you need, thumbing the drought
As long as somebody knows this
As long as somebody goes
We stock dirty, this ain’t amateur hour
Got the free form in-between, running the south
As long as somebody changes
As long as somebody goes

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s fine to kill someone in showbiz
The trick is just don’t bring it home
Yeah, you like that?
Ring the bell my dear

[Chorus]
On must we go
These nets of summer
Have captured my own melody, sadness
I’ll lead you there, I’ll see you coming
You’re righteous whеn things get too hard

[Verse 2]
The bird and the sеrpent, they ain’t balancing out
I’m gonna work ’til I’m certain I ain’t dealing in doubt
As long as somebody poses
As long as somebody’s told
Where did you go? It’s like I’m drawn to nowhere
We roam with changelings, so how did we go there?
We let somebody build this
Now it’s somebody’s home

[Chorus]
On must we go (From around there)
These nets of summer
Have captured my own melody, sadness

I’ll lead you there, I’ll see you coming
You’re righteous when things get too hard
It’s my hand to stay
Alone with a whole world outside, beyond

[Bridge]
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Bird and serpent, bird and serpent
Maybe somebody made this
Maybe somebody knows
Maybe somebody made this
Maybe somebody knows

[Chorus]
On must we go (From around there)
These nets of summer
Have captured my own melody, rapture
I’ll lead you there, I’ll see you coming
You’re righteous when things get too hard
It’s my hand to stay
Alone with a whole world outside, beyond
I’ll lead you there, I’ll see you coming
These days we all take too heart
It’s my hand to throw
Alone with a whole world outside, beyond
