You feel like the Earth is falling apart?
Well, yeah, I guess.
Are you tired of feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? Yes! Well then, do I have a proposal for you.
There's a colony on Mars, let's escape and ride the stars. No one really knows what's going on down here. We could live up in the sky, you be you and I'll be I. We can leave this rock behind and disappear. So— Hip hop!
Waka waka! Ay-ya! Let me set us on the moon! Set us on the moon! Like we got nothing to lose. Sinners on the move. Let's be sinners on the move. Let's be sinners on the move.
Let's be sinners on the moon. Moonlight dancing on the road. Mama told me not to go. We don't really know what's going on up there. Everything down here is broken. Try to take a breath, I'm choking. I can't lose you now, I'm running out of air. So without a doubt, oh yeah, yeah.
Let's be sinners on the moon. Woo! Sinners on the Move! Like we got nothing to lose! Sinners on the Move! Let's be Sinners on the Move!
