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 Feel 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, you 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
Oh, I've never been here before Deep inside earth's molten core 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
Well, 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 nation Or feel the slightest obligation
Oh, I can't get over this moon now Oh, I can't get over this moon Ooh, ooh
