A SONG ABOUT SPACE

VERSE I

Space
Oh how you baffle human race
I've heard you're this big, cold place
But I wonder
What lies yonder
The Sun
Such a tiny white dwarf when you've begun
Do you think when your time is done
Would you be so kind
To spare mankind
From the explosion

CHORUS

Oh, there's a part of me
That longs to belong to your great black sea
Float among the stars
Fly to Mars and back
Oh, how I wish to be
Swimming inside my own galaxy
Space swallow me whole
I'll be waiting for the black hole

VERSE II

Space
You have a way to make a man feel displaced
We were never meant to float there
in the first place
But we have astronauts to thank
Mr. Moon
Soon I'll see the other side of your face
Don't you think it's a bit of a disgrace to hide
To keep your better half as a secret

CHORUS

Oh, there's a part of me
That longs to belong to your great black sea
Float among the stars
Fly to Mars and back
Oh I appear to be
Just an atom within infinity
So space swallow me whole
I'll be waiting for the black hole

BRIDGE

Time warp
Fourth dimension
Show me the way
To go back to yesterday
And start a whole life over
Comet tails
Constellation
Show me the way
To Saturn's chocolate slide
Where the aliens play

CHORUS

Oh, there's a part of me
That longs to belong to your great black sea
Float among the stars
Fly to Mars and back
To where a soul could find
A heavenly body that would be so kind
To take me whole
Until then, I'll be waiting for a black hole
Outro:
Mercury, the closest to the Sun
Venus I can see you from Earth, you're the only one
Mars, can you accommodate living things
Jupiter I know of your invisible rings
Saturn I heard you can float on water
Hey Uranus can be the name of somebody's daughter
Neptune you're so far away, the color of the sea
Pluto you will always be a planet to me

The whole production, the guitars, the melody, and Aly's voice--all of these make the EP a wonderful listening experience. The lyrics are sad and poignant, and some are more lively than the others. I'm glad I got myself a physical copy of the album, too! captseptimus
