The future needs a big kiss
Winds blows with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he won't scare you
Hey, sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah
You free me from the dark dream
Candy floss ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren't real
Here's where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real
You don't know how beautiful
You don't know how beautiful you are
You don't know, and you don't get it, do you?
You don't know how beautiful you are
That's someone's stuff they're blowing up
We're into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations
I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don't want to talk about wars between nations
Not right now
Hey sexy boots...
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now
Bossy boots
You don't know how beautiful
You don't know how beautiful you are
You don't know, and you don't get it, do you?
You don't know how beautiful you are
Hey sexy boots
I don't want to talk about the wars between the nations
Sexy boots, yeah
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, now
God, I'm going down
I don't wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey

“What about U2's 'Get On Your Boots'? Not a huge hit I have to say, but Dylan actually said to me as a joke one day when I happened to go to his show, 'How could U2 do that to your song? How did they take your song like that?' And I said, 'Well, I think you're making fun of me now. That's a joke, I guess', because obviously he must know that I stole that delivery of 'Pump It Up' from his song in the same way.” — The Line Of Best Fit, January 5, 2022
