The Western lands

Day turns to Night

Immaterial play of light

It's very nice out here

Poked my hand in a hornet's nest

They flew out around my face

I guess it's just self defense

The camera pans

The focus shifts

The world is a hornet's nest

I learned my lesson well

I surf the net

And watch TV

There's peace in the Middle East

Feel like I'm an astronaut

Now I am an astronaut
