God Speed You To Earth

Lyrics for God Speed You To Earth

I'm stuck to this cliff face Like a bug to your eye While the chimes of Belharrie Ring out from the sky It's night here forever Though the sun never sets In weightless longevity I pay back my debts And I bomb a monitor In words I can't read My only companion Is found blessed and freed Godspeed you to earth Godspeed you to earth I once was a sailor Until I ran out of sails Then I rode on a surfboard In a top hat and tails And I tapped on your table I spoke with the dead He says he's forgiven you Now give me my bread Cause I'm hitching to anywhere With a sackful of gifts That nobody knows about Won't you give me a lift? Godspeed you to earth Godspeed you to earth Don't you look back I sit in the shelter But the bus never stopped And the rain fell like promises When the starman was dropped But who deals in specifics In details or fact When so much is happening And no one reacts And people are water They ebb and they flow Continually moving They come and they go Godspeed you to earth Godspeed you to earth I bring you delusion And I offer you fame And I lay it before you Like a poacher's fresh game And it fuels your ambition Puts hopes in your head Puts verbs in your lavatory And fire in your bed And I watch from my balcony As the flames turn to blue Your vessel departing And I wish I was too Godspeed you to earth Godspeed you to earth Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back Don't you look back
