Lyrics for Negative Earth

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose That my life up here was slowly drifting by And all I've got to do is sit and cry The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say That my life once full was surely running dry I prayed a while but then I had to cry Look in my eyes - I know That man is surely just a man It's no surprise - I know The road is far too long And life too short to carry on For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by And all I've got to do is sit and cry Look in my eyes - I know That man is surely just a man It's no surprise - I know The road is far too long And life too short to carry on
