| The smartest men, they built a rocket
|
| Aimed it at a target far, far, far away
|
| But by the time they knew they lost it
|
| It was a long way, was a long way, was a long way
|
| We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off
|
| The smartest men, they saw a world with
|
| Corners and endings far, far, far away
|
| But when they drew it out and searched it
|
| They were a long way, were a long way, were a long way
|
| We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way
|
| The erudite composed a thesis
|
| Everything we see is all, all, all there is
|
| But as an apophatic mystic
|
| We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way
|
| We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off
|
| When the waves of time
|
| Wash the shores stark clean
|
| Of the memories, the last of me
|
| With my castles gone to the constant sea
|
| Will you stay with me
|
| Stay with me |
