many more stars

far away and long ago,
the universe decided to explode.
we'll never get back there -
you'll never get home -
even god don't know
so row your boat along the flow
your ship already chose which way to go
for eons, you've been rolling alone
falling like a stone
trying to find lights
so don't sit around or wonder why
you live until you die
just pick a song and sling it high
and if you miss, there's plenty more stars in the sky
don't you know there's plenty more stars in the sky?
you've got to take what you can
got to break your best-laid plans
the void is calling -
don't slow down -
if you don't swim, you'll drown
so row your boat along the flow
your ship already chose which way to go
lost in the night
billions and billions of lights
brilliant and bright
so don't sit around or wonder why
you live until you die
just pick a song and sling it high
and if you miss, there's plenty more stars in the sky
don't you know there's plenty more stars in the sky?
a trillion suns will pass you by
a sliver in the sky
in space, no one can hear you cry
wipe your eye, there's plenty more stars in the sky
(billions of billions)
and don't deny there's plenty more stars in the sky
and if you miss there's plenty more stars...

i don't know but i've been told
you've got no soul
oh, don't you though?
the moon is rising on the shore
and we both glow
in stereo
suddenly
could it be
you and me, a riot
and i got the recipe
who knew how to be so free?
y va y va y va y va y va...

They've got grass-fed beef burgers of Beauty and Truth,
Bicycle co-ops and Fountains of Youth;
Come on down
to Futuretown.
They've got boss DJs, no NRA;
It's mostly sunny, all day,
Every day
And I look around at the human race
Searching for your friendly face
It isn't fair that you weren't there.
They've got vegenaise, equal rights for gays;
And on clear nights, you can see the Milky Way
We've got it good in Futuretown;
Everything as advertised.
I think of you once in a while.
Brings a twinkle to my eye.
And I look around at my new family
They're easy, they're lucky, they're happy and free.
Come on down.
Wish you were here.
Maybe someday you'll reappear and we'll all get a beer.

near the corner of moore and ringgold
trains passing with a sinister load
and every night a light flashing in code
the chemicals are gonna explode
my neighbor build a shelter in her den
full of AA batteries and cans
and ten gallons of bottled water for her daughter
and each of the members of her nuclear family
and the children play on tire swings and slides
against the rising tide
of methyl cyanide
some people say they're waiting for a sign
well i'll give them a piece of my mind
i'm scared senseless, in fact i'm terrified
but i'm going outside

outside the snow is falling in my town
ready and waiting
for you to come home
last night the wind was calling the sky down
you are so far away
and i succumb
but every time i unwind just to find you are missing here
i got nowhere to go
but i'll find a way to show
you
what you mean to me
so how far is montreal from new orleans?
hartford to providence
from here to your room
i wanna get up with you in the mornings
live in the present tense
how high the moon?
but every time i unwind just to find you are missing here
i got no place to go
i'll still find a way to show
you
what you mean to me
cos i want you to know
that you are so special
to me
and i may never know you
never know you like i wanted to, oh well
cos on the road to my abode
you stopped and slipped away and never made it home
but i'm still searching for you
wanna pick you up and blow the water out of you
yeah i still wanna show you
when i find you, then we both will know just what you mean to me
cos i want you to know
that you are so special
to me
