[Verse 1]
A black hole at the center of the galaxy
Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down
Nice and easy
As a naught, as a nil, as a no

[Refrain]
One more step ’til finally you just freeze

[Chorus]
You’re gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole

Open like you’re the hole in the ozone

You’re gonna give us the slip tonight
Plaster partitions, blackbird says nothing
You’re gonna laugh, you’re gonna sing
You’re gonna bring the world down ’round your ears
While the temperature grows ugly

[Verse 2]
While you threaten to press the button
Let’s pretend, let’s pretend, let’s pretend

[Refrain]
One more step ’til finally you just freeze

[Pre-Chorus]
Staring into infinity
As if, as if you cannot see

[Chorus]
You’re gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole
Cuz you want s*it for free

[Verse 3]

I don’t know it was just, just a question
(We are so in trouble)
Somehow it’s, it’s not like you imagined
(We are so in trouble)

[Refrain]
One more step ’til finally you just freeze
