about

Written and performed by Gumshoe

lyrics

Lonely leviathan
Strung out and wire thin
Wholly high-minded
and oh how high I have been
I cannot lie
I have kept myself high as a bird
I'm a man of my word

Stoned to the bone
like the Boy who cried Beastie
our darling white duke died
but well at least he
remembered to say his goodbyes
like great aliens do
Amorosa, I'm getting closer to you

The moon doesn't shine
it can only reflect
and it's hard for a satellite
to have self-respect
but the moon oh the moon oh the moon!
abides in tranquility
but the moon oh the moon oh the moon!
is a comfort to me

There are more stars in the sky
than hairs on the heads
of every person
that I've ever met
in fact all of humanity
living and dead
has never had so many
hairs on their heads *
as I stare at the starlight
while I lie in bed,
Amorosa, I remember the words
that you said
"In the whole of the cosmos
we can't be alone.
But the vacuum of space
is so empty and cold."
Amorosa, I am frozen to the bone.

And the starlight I'm seeing now,
when did it happen?
Is time just a function
of how far light travels?
Well I know that there's more,
but the mind tends to baffle.
It's laughable trying
to find out the patterns.
And what of dark matter?
And what of dark data?
Oh Amorosa,
I'm climbing the ladder to you.
Cause you got the greatest
adorable face in the zoo.
howling and grateful
and I am an animal too
and oh oh I'm going crazy for you!

* - I checked the math.
