Telescope

can't place attachment

to such a contraption

at such an early hour

in such a desperate state

i won't rest on promises

or guarantees or contracts

that don't lend any power

or influence to fate

this device may make

the vulnerable visible

and the complex simple

blast delusions of grandeur

out of the sky

but the result is a sleep on the floor

with a bottle of wine

and i, and i, and i

thinks he's probably not as clever as he thinks he is

five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting

for his father to come home

sitting on that plane getting cheated out of thursday

and all because of the laws about time and space

across the aisle his tie wrapped round his neck

arms wrapped round a briefcase

like it's something or someone more important

and all the excitement

you can see the comet from here

you can see anything you wanna see

magnified 500 times

i only wanna see you

but there's a comet blocking my view

you know we're probably not as clever as we think we are

five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting

for his father to come home

he must have fallen asleep on the train

must have missed his stop

i know you and you know me

but i've got a telescope now and it's all that i need

it's all that i need (x2)

you're all that i need

all that i need

five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting

for his father to come home

he must have fallen asleep on the train

must have missed his stop

i know you and you know me

but i've got a telescope now and it's all that i need

it's all that i need (x2)

i can see

you're all that i need

all that i need
