Lyrics
It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A train moving out of the station, somewhere south of it.
A satellite making connections somewhere over it.
One makes a long lonely howl, one is silent.
A new design waits to be launched somewhere west of it.
Calling all cans on the go,
This is mission control
Somewhere built below it.
Pass that cup over here; this is boring.
And I don't even do this anymore to believe
The nonsense I'm hearing.
A certain amount of booze is all it takes to relax me.
Then it's back to my parents' home in a taxi.
Back to the place I belong,
To the place I belong.
Somewhere built below it.
I am a science boy.
I grew up on dinosaurs,
A million different species of birds, and aircraft.
This is the science of truth,
Is the science of love,
Is the science of it.
