She sleeps with the planets,
I know because I've seen it.
I sleep next to science,
Wishing it were her.

We were once a product of
Conservative America
She slept around, then left this town,
went looking for her Sun.
She flirts with the moons,
And lets them think they have her.
My cheeks are rosy-red, 
I try to make her laugh but,
When she was young, she saw a film
Then packed her bags and marked a date.
The time [bad word]  2001,
She's on her own space odyssey.

I'm no cosmonaut, so I...
Tie an anchor to a woman,
Watch her chew through bone to set herself free.

She's not equipped for black holes
And I just want her in my arms.
I'm not equipped for long-term.

She's been here, 
I smell her, 
She's like the wind before the rain.
Naked, she'd tell me 
Only stars know what she's really thinking.
She's in the arms of Jupiter, 
I'll give back his moons in trade for her.
All beat and scarred he swears
The stars have taken her from me.

And I
Tie an anchor to a woman,
Watch her chew through bone to set herself free.

She's not equipped for black holes,
And I just want her in my arms.
I'm not equipped for long-term,
And I just want

I found my old sketches
Of flying packs, brown paper wings, and fire.
She slipped out the back door and left me, 
So I learned to fly.

Light years fly by in search of you
Skin dries up, eyes go too.

Space [bad word] say I should leave it alone,
The Milky Way traveler, well, he's seen it all.
Left Earth long ago to find a love of his own,
The lonely star juggler could never go home.

I'm no cosmonaut.

And I don't know anymore
There's little mean bugs in my veins
Can I stick to you, my love?
'Cause I'll stick to anyone

I'm in love with everyone
Bugs humming space hymns in my ear
I wake up stuck to someone
I wake up in other years.

Does anyone believe in time, 
And do you feel the years slip by?
'Cause I do
Does anyone believe in age, 
And do you see my skin drip off?
'Cause I do
Does anyone believe in love, 
'Cause I've been face-to-face with her, 
And I don't
Does anyone believe in God? 
And do you feel the flames of [bad word] 
'Cause I do

Or maybe I just don't at all
It's really [bad word] hot in here.

So I sit
In the streams of time and wait.
And I try
To convince myself that I am not to blame.
She swims with
And sleeps in every moon jelly she sees.

Such is life,
And such is me.

I'm asleep all the [bad word] time,
I can't believe any of this is real.
It's ineffable, 
It's all in my head.
My mind is melting,
And moving,
And stretching,
And teething.
