[Intro]
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
At first, you will find
A prophecy of what could have been, you know
You know, there's all sorts of crap on the TV these days
Now you won't live after such disaster
You're a lot full of smashed-up cars
Cross-hatched in the metal when you're cracking up
But you're part of the pack, pup
You're part of something bigger than the laws of nature
Mrs. Thatcher
Your cruel heart navigates the world we live in
With its anger
Going nowhere, coming at ya
[Chorus]
Rapture in my head
I've been looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm alrеady bored
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
Well, God, tell mе I sure am on the list
How can you make yourself so scarce from someone you love?
Oh, it don't make sense
Your love is never better than the morning after
Well, Mother Nature, coming at ya
[Chorus]
He’s rapture in my head
I've been looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored
Rapture in my head
I've looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored
[Bridge]
You want rapture?
Oh, you want rapture?
You want rapture?
Oh you want rapture?
Oh, it's rapture in my head
You say this is up
I'm already dead
There's a rapture in my head
You say this is up
I'm already dead
Oooh
Dead
