[Verse 1]
You feel aligned in the open plain
You see the rise of the monsoon rain
You analyse all the worth you see
While dining out with the bourgeoisie
The gamma rays in the midnight sun
Are shadows now in the midnight slum
The promised land or a hideaway
They couldn't keep me away, away from your
[Pre-Chorus]

Starlight falls in and out of phase
Soaking up the rays, gamma rays

Are shadows now and the midnight sour
The promised land or a Shangri-La
It couldn't keep me away, away from your
[Pre-Chorus]
The fear is out tonight
It never could keep us away
The fear is out tonight
[Chorus]
Soaking up the rays, gamma rays
Starlight falls in and out of phase
Soaking up the rays, gamma rays
We stand golden in the summer haze
