[Verse 1]
Popular slogan in a bucket of paint
Supercomputer on a jolly crusade
Massaging your forearms, holding your gaze
Stealing your thunder, washing your brain
Trying not to wake up sleeping dogs, just because
You're a lonely little hall of famer

[Chorus]
Tonight is heavy on one side, it's all a lie
A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
You've got something on your mind and so have I
I can see it from here, oh

[Verse 2]
Ten years later, it's been a decade
Coming together in a suitable space
Mystery boxes from which you cannot escapе
Sticking your neck out in a spiritual way

[Chorus]
Tonight is heavy on one sidе, it's all a lie
A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
You've got something on your mind and so have I
I can see it from here, oh

[Bridge]
Alternate reality
Sneak up on the sly, the way I know you like
Please, don't fall in love with everything on opening night
Flashback to infinity, just one more time

[Chorus]
(Tonight is heavy on one side)
Tonight is heavy on one side, it's all a lie
(A set of cherry red and white)
A set of cherry red and white, oh, yeah
(You've got something on your mind)
You've got something on your mind and so have I
I can see it from here
