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 |
