[Verse 1]
I fell off the face of planet Earth
I went missing for a living
People were singing
For what it's worth
When I went missing for a living
I took the subway to Humble Pie
And I went missing for a living
Too much temptation I can't satisfy
So I went missing for a living
[Chorus]
Can I have your attention?
Then take away the sky
Crash into me with spiders
[Verse 2]
I was struck by a rubber band
So I went missing for a living
I got urges I don't understand
So I went missing for a living
I threw a flower into outer space
And I went missing for a living
Everybody sang Amazing Grace
When I went missing for a living
[Chorus]
Can I have your attention?
Then take away the sky
Crash into me with spiders
Secret destroyers keep away
[Refrain]
Secret destroyers keep away
Secret destroyers keep away
Secret destroyers keep away
Secret destroyers keep away
[Outro]
Secret destroyers keep away
Secret destroyers keep away
Secret destroyers keep away
Secret destroyers keep away
