Where do we go from here?

Falling asleep against the window pane. 
 
My blood will thicken...

That something would

Verse: Same as verse 1. 
 
Where do we go from here? 
The planet is a gunboat, In a sea of fear...

They brought in the CIA, 
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away, To blow me sky high...
