Blues For Planet X

You're stoned in the capsule, alone. It's true
Because God is asleep and dreaming that he is you
Engines on and up the Voyager flew
And Planet Earth is blue. Planet Earth is blue
(Computers now have control of critical vehicle functions)

But you are not the comet, you are the crater
The violet void in which swims the space invader
Into the crypts and caves of sleeping saints
While the hungry goths are chanting in the rain

Sundown in a ghost town, with Jupiter rising
Staggered by daggers, on the Killing Horizon
The Shepherd is lost in the wild fields of night
And you, kid, you are not alright

I walked the black streets of doom searching for you
Pressed against railings, staring down into
The purple pools where broken sparrows dive
How many lies/lives does one have to live to survive?

Sundown in a ghost town, with Jupiter rising
Staggered by daggers, on the Killing Horizon
The Shepherd is lost in the wild fields of night
And you, kid, you are not alright

Because nowhere over the rainbow. No birds sing
Because nowhere over the rainbow, nobody had nothing

You think you're dancing, but are you there at all?
Or just dead light spinning in the mirror ball?
A sensor trembles down in ground control
But they see nothing, no one, not a soul
