On magnetic islands in the sea
Vapour Wall Street money sets them free
Finally they can just go all the way
Fucking with the world

Sci-fi boys to the lab with no slack
Sci-fi boys conjuring what they lack
                                      ...and what they lack are...
Starlight women make the world so fine
