[edit] Music video

The video for the song starts with a box falling from the sky and is revealed to have three versions of Moby inside it. All three versions head for the city. A version spots a black car and starts heading off for it. He accidentally drops a map under a car and goes under the car to get it. However, the Moby version is later seen under the bed of someone who is taking a bath. Moby finds the map and gets out of the room before the person comes out. After exiting, he gets out and gets in another room he is later seen going in and out of both rooms and after this he jumps off a window. Another Moby is driving the car which the map fell under. He fuels the car and picks up all three versions of Moby. They drive to the location where the box is, go back inside, and at the end the box explodes.
