lyrics

You can plainly see the curve
Of the earth from up here
As we're zooming past
The things we left behind are so dear
Trace a moving arc
A fugue in the dark
Headed for the sun
To sink into the ocean
Drink a blackout potion
And be done

Remember every minute
As we spin it from our fear
Enveloping our cares
A packet shooting through the stratosphere
Their questions missed the mark
As we fled on through the dark
Hiding from the sun
Headed for our home
Star-crossed and alone
The spell is done

How can we live with a crime
If we can't stand by it
How can we go on thinking that
Nothing's all right
When nothing's all right

You can surely see the pain
Of gaining this information
Burn the whistle blowers
And serve them up for mastication
So can we be surprised
That we're now running for our lives
Lurking in the sun
To sink into the ocean
Drink a blackout potion
And be done

How can we live with a crime
If we can't stand by it
How can we go on thinking that
Nothing's all right
When nothing's all right
