Thao, Mirah - Spaced Out Orbit lyrics
[Thao, Mirah - Spaced Out Orbit lyrics]
Well I saw something that
Resembled that place
On the otherside where we were together
On the moon we walked and
Kicked up lots of dust
We made a space cloud of us
And all that stuff we were afraid of
We had a home there
And in the glowing stare at each other
And nothing other than each other
And I thought nothing could ever touch us
Except the space dust all around us
But now there's something digging
Down into the crust
Trying to find a ocean there
Under the home we share
They sat there way down
Like an earthquake we cracked
Was it the government who sent them?
Was it their scientific vision?
To destroy past recognition?
They did approach without concern
And when they warned us of their plan
We didn't listen
And they would take our gentle light
Our moon and our whole life
Replace what we had grown with their ambition
And we would be sure to fail
If we began to form an opposition
Nobodies right, they say
Nobodies wrong, they say
We are generous and good
And we will have it our way
Yes, we will have it our way, they say
Now take all of your dust
Your love and all your trust
We're sending you upon your final mission
And then I found myself in orbit
And the last thing I observed
The last words that I heard
Were don't forget to send
In your transmissions
We expect you to report on your condition
Then I saw something that
Resembled that place
On the otherside where we were together
They will take our gentle light
Our moon and our whole life
Resembled that place
On the otherside where we were together
On the moon we walked and
Kicked up lots of dust
We made a space cloud of us
And all that stuff we were afraid of
We had a home there
And in the glowing stare at each other
And nothing other than each other
And I thought nothing could ever touch us
Except the space dust all around us
But now there's something digging
Down into the crust
Trying to find a ocean there
Under the home we share
They sat there way down
Like an earthquake we cracked
Was it the government who sent them?
Was it their scientific vision?
To destroy past recognition?
They did approach without concern
And when they warned us of their plan
We didn't listen
And they would take our gentle light
Our moon and our whole life
Replace what we had grown with their ambition
And we would be sure to fail
If we began to form an opposition
Nobodies right, they say
Nobodies wrong, they say
We are generous and good
And we will have it our way
Yes, we will have it our way, they say
Now take all of your dust
Your love and all your trust
We're sending you upon your final mission
And then I found myself in orbit
And the last thing I observed
The last words that I heard
Were don't forget to send
In your transmissions
We expect you to report on your condition
Then I saw something that
Resembled that place
On the otherside where we were together
They will take our gentle light
Our moon and our whole life
