Lyrics for Lonely Cosmos

From the belly of the jungle where I launched I fly through time as dead as it is cold I miss my home Lonely cosmos Fading in the solar space stream floating I've been getting older Satellite burning, galaxy shattering Bathing in the colder (bathing, bathing) Black sea boating (boating, boating) Alien freeloader (loader, loader) Are we alone in this cosmic effigy? Splitting timber before my axe hits Snowball, rolling avalanches Roses for the prophet In the haze of swirling mystic Focus with a sunburned kiss Quicksand sunken ships Are we alone in the cosmic abyss? I'm inhaling stardust Don't leave me floating This is not how I would want to die I'm sitting on Saturn's rings Don't leave me yet This isn't how I would want to die Orbitin' is lonely until you comprehend we're only stardust I'm the furthest I've ever been from home, contemplating That every meteorite is my tombstone Lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lonely cosmos I sent ma and pa some mail, will take six twenty years to travel I said I've seen beyond the ridge, and Milky Way until the edge But I still miss my home Lonely cosmos
