Wilco - Venus Stopped The Train (American Aquarium) lyrics

Venus stopped the train
For the brakeman lost his place
Satellites were spinning in outer space
They televised her feelings, while the light
The light struck terror

I kept my distance because she
Fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
She fell in love with me i was polite to her
A soft sadness had her much
More than her loneliness

Her father warmed the benches
Vice president of southern branches
He reached out to her when her mother slept
He would never forget the light
The light, the light striking terror

I kept my distance because she
Fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
She fell in love with me i was polite to her
A soft sadness had her much
More than her loneliness

Satellites spinning satellites spin
Well, the light the light, the light
The light, the light
The light strikes terror
The light strikes terror

I keep my distance because she
Falls in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
She falls in love with me i'm polite to her
A soft sadness had her much
More than her ugliness

I keep my distance because she
Falls in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
She falls in love with me i'm polite to her
I reach my soft hand out to her
I've known her for a very, very long time
