Lyrics My Luminous Planet - Bill Nelson

My Luminous Planet

This thing conceals and then reveals every thought I think about you
These words aren’t clear, but never fear, no shadow here to doubt you
It’s a luminous world, it’s a cool kinda planet
Universally yours, now that’s the truth near as dammit
My luminous planet
Now everyone has a terrible friend, who’s far too close for comfort
An ageing kind of hipster with a hatful of halos
And a day of judgement trumpet
Chasing signal to noise, keeping bees in my bonnet
Maybe you’ll let me know, if I stumble upon it
My luminous planet
You know the demon’s name changes day to day such a flexible opponent
So pull yourself together, or God will get you, It’s an atom-splitting moment
My luminous planet, my luminous planet
This perpetual boy still plays for time, in Peter pan fashion
In search of grace and the common place of every day compassion
