Hollow Stone / Escape From The Space Pirates

Hollow stone

Early morning you slip out the window

And glide through the dew

All alone

Back a thousand years

And you know there is no answer

They can give you, they can give you

For the words are not there for them to choose

After all

You are only a molecule drifting

An atom afloat

As you fall

Into space from your lonely shell of fear

You raise your hands and gaze in wonder

At a word you have seen somewhere before

Only you can see the men of wisdom

Moving slowly on together

Sun shines through the stone but once a year

Ceremony now will start anew

And so you sit beneath the linden tree

Staring ghostly at the altar

And all the problems that perplex you so

Dissolve and vanish deep into the water

No use asking what you are

Or what you'll be a millisecond after

As you plunge back into laughter now

Dancing and calling out your name

And still you sit beneath the linden tree

Staring ghostly at the altar

And all the problems that perplex you so

Dissolve and vanish deep into the water
