Directions Home
(Bruce/Hanrahan)
Shouldn't we be flying by now?
Half way between our lives and the stars
Shouldn't we be soaring by now?
Shouldn't we be soaring by now?
Science and explanations left below
Girl
Shouldn't we be flying by now?
Our real lives just begun
Shouldn't we have lost science by now?
All our shackles turned to sand
Shouldn't we have burned our house down by now?
Setting fire to the walls by the way we make love
Girl
Shouldn't we be flying by now?
Into the wordless blue
Above
Shouldn't we be stripped of language by now?
Half way to the stars
Shouldn't we have forgotten each others' names?
Knowing each other by the way we touch
Shouldn't we have lost names by now?
And know each other by the way we breathe
Shouldn't we be flying by now?
Shouldn't we be flying by now?
Shouldn't we be soaring by now?
Shouldn't we be soaring?
Shouldn't we be calm by now?
Shouldn't we be home?
