Astronomy lyrics

Chris Jackson)

She climbs the fire escape up to the roof
Up to her trusty telescope
Escapism`s her last refuge
The only way she can cope

The Milky Way`s at peace tonight
Unlike anywhere else in her world
She`s looking for a guiding light
Within a universe unfurled

CHORUS
Astronomy
Save me
Is it wrong of me
To worry?

Everything runs like clockwork here
Like some grand Goldberg design
Absolute existance without the fear
But it`s got nothing to do with mine


How did everything get so skewed?
She really tries to understand
Every time she loved all she got was screwed
And that wasn`t what she planned

CHORUS

The clock up on the wall keeps ticking faster everyday
And as people we show no sign of slowing down
We`re killing off each other in innovative ways
The apocalypse has checked a room in your town

CHORUS

she goes out to the edge of the roof and looks down at her anthill home
They`ve stripped the carcass of all the truth
And left her nothing but gleaming bones
The more complex man becomes the more primative he returns
The hatred can`t be breeded out and the glowing kernel ember burns

CHORUS
