Since you took your love away, I've been bitter
Since you took your love away, I've been feeling bad
But since you did me no evil, soon I'll forgive you that
But right now I'm not quite ready to vanquish this hardness in my soul
'cause God made me like any other, it pains me to let go
Someone I remember took me for a dirty ride
And when I hit the bottom I forgot how to climb
She told me I was her king and I'm sure it was no lie
But her truth was no longer than the blink of my eye
I couldn't find the meaning, I couldn't see the light
Until I heard it beating, my heart had reached the other side
Love shot me from a canon, I heard the cracking of my bones
The earth's star was dawning upon the creatures of the sky
I passed the church's awnings, and the swallows and the crows
They were feeding on the crickets and calling to the people down below
Above the cedar trees and concrete and the intercity trains
Out on coast above the listing boats, I saw the seekers seek in vain
I saw the arc of human history, I saw the consuls of Rome
And the general in his wheelchair gripping his staff like stone
I was flying like a comet, I lost sight of any ground
I used to know my measures, but I'm untethered now
Oh interstellar dust, fly where you must
You'll soon come crashing down
