  • This is the place
    Sit down, you're safe now
    You've been stuck in a lift
    We've been trying to reach you, Thom
    This is the place
    It won't hurt ever again

    The smell of air conditioning
    The fish are belly up
    Empty all your pockets
    Because it's time to come home

    This is the place
    Remember me?
    I'm the face you always see
    You've been stuck in a lift
    In the belly of a whale
    At the bottom of the ocean

    The smell of air conditioning
    The fish are belly up
    Empty all your pockets
    Because it's time to come home

    The smell of air conditioning
    The fish are belly up
    Let it go

    Today is the first day
    Of the rest of your days

    So lighten up, squirt Writer/s: Colin Charles Greenwood, Edward John O'brien, Jonathan Richard Guy Greenwood, Philip James Selway, Thomas Edward Yorke
