The stars act deranged circling orbital planes / clearly misguided / transfixed in their ways / down in the grass we stared up at the vastness of space / traced shapes / and got wasted on sunshine / a voice filled the sky as we danced round the fire / it said, everything ends. It must end where it started. / then all of the galaxies, churning like factories / pulled to the center where everything dies / every night, I guess the moon changes it’s phase / maybe our hearts do the same / you know that I really can’t say / Jesus Louise, when will these hearts of ours cease to beat? / do they exist just to pump blood? or maybe that’s - is that love? / we predicted eclipses with radios tuned / right to the center but nothing came through / an airplane blinked like a star going wild / so we fled to the wilderness / listening for police sirens / up in the canopy animals sang / projecting their voices throughout outer space / we joined in the chant wondering how we’d survive / and we prayed to the center where everything dies / every night, I guess the moon changes it’s phase / maybe our hearts do the same / you know that I really can’t say / Jesus Louise, when will these hearts of ours cease to beat? / do they exist just to pump blood?
