Lyrics
Oh I can't get over this moon
And all creatures under the sun
Move through their days in a state of oblivion
Stars don't owe you anything
Don't give a damn about your nations
Fear the slightest obligation
I mean, listen
What if the world goes spinning off its axis?
And what if the moon begins to wane before it waxes?
Wrapped in darkness
Take my hand
Through all the chambers of the underland
Like this penny on the railroad track
If you go too far, you know you can't go back
I've never been here before
Deep inside Earth's molten core
Oh no need for clothes or for eyes to see
So find yourself a pair of ears
Gonna be down here for many years
Just listen out for that subterranean river of tears
Not exactly hell
More like a nocturnal paradise
Not exactly heaven either
I'd say 'bout half as nice
We're at the end now
You've run aground
And all the sound waves have gone underground
There's a threshold between the here and hereafter
To cross a river, you know you gotta take a raft there
Stars don't owe you anything
Don't give a damn about your nations
Feel the slightest obligation
Oh I can't get over this moon now
Oh I can't get over this moon
