[Verse 1]
Boredom is a gift
But I've had enough of it to last a lifetime
Give me something shocking, feel like I am falling
I wanna wake up with a start
Boredom is a gift

[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I leave my time unfilled
Take the phone out of my hands
I want the rarest of thrills
So they hit my soul like a ten-piece brass band

[Chorus]
Brass band
Like a ten-piece brass band

[Verse 2]
I want you to surprise me
Turn me back into myself
Got rid of these distractions, stayed out of the action
Put my head up in the clouds
I want you to surprise me

[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I leave my time unfilled
Take the phone out of my hands
I want the rarest of thrills
To hit my soul like a ten-piece brass band
[Chorus]
Brass band
Like a ten-piece brass band
Like a ten-piece—
Like a ten-piece brass band

[Bridge]
And so we march
To the beat of our own drum
To the sound of our own blood
Pumping through our veins
Give me the chills again, feel the thrill again
As it hits my soul like a ten-piece brass band, ooh

[Chorus]
Brass band
Like a ten-piece brass band
Like a ten-piece—
Like a ten-piece brass band
Like a ten-piece brass band
