Distant Solar Systems |
| Distant solar systems and all the minor planets |
| Know nothing of our satellites and 747s |
| Fireworks that recreate the birth of constellations |
| Dying suns that laugh at shotgun powder imitations |
| When I am a sailor, and the sky, a pitch-black ocean |
| I’ll look down at my bleeding heart and wish I were a Vulcan |
| It’s Byzantine structures, churches and all |
| All of our treasure of oil and gold |
| All of the empires crumble in stone |
| Great architecture gilded in chrome |
| God and I, we correspond with intermittent letters |
| I send postcards from the road, and now and then he answers |
| Echoes northern city-states, and all the mighty kingdoms |
| Head of sewing needles on an unending horizon |
| I knew there was a scene before you |
| Ever thought to sing it |
| And call yourself a bastard |
| And I know you like an orphan |
| 'Cause great men of science and literature |
| Don’t impress me, what can I offer? |
| Because I am a chisel in your hand |
| Screaming at marble from a microphone stand |
