Spaced Out Orbit

Well I saw something that resembled that place

On the other side, where we were together

On the moon we walked and kicked up lots of dust

We made a space cloud of us

And of that stuff we were afraid of

We had a home there and in the glow we'd stare at each other

At nothing other than each other

And I thought, nothing could ever touch us

Except the space dust all around us

But now there's something digging down, into the crust

Trying to find an ocean there, under the home we shared

They set their weight down

And like an earthquake we cracked

Was it the government who sent them?

Was it their scientific vision?

To destroy past recognition

Thy did approach without concern

And when they warned us of their plan we didn't listen

They would take our gentle light

Our moon and our whole life

Replace what we had grown with their ambition

And we would be sure to fail

If we began to form an opposition

Nobody's right they say

Nobody's wrong they say

We are generous and good

And we will have it our way, yes we will have it our way

They say now take all of your dust, your love and all your trust

We're sending you upon your final mission

And then I found myself in orbit

And the last thing I observed

The last words that I heard

Were "don't forget to send in your transmissions,

we expect you to report on your condition"

Then I saw something that resembled that place

On the other side, where we were together

They will take our gentle light

Our moon and our whole life
