We were bored of watching days pass with this lack Of meaning, excitement and highs So we turned up the heat and lit up the night But once we'd caught fire we couldn't go back To the lazy and trivial days by the sea We were ready again for walks on the shore But when we noticed, there was no shore anymore It never rains on Mercury Allowed just one word To describe the earth He said "fragile". Mr. Collins, good bye! Above all horizons Alone in the darkness He watched and met nobody's eye We daydreamt of castles up high in the air To cut us loose from the ground And inflated them 'til they rose to the skies We couldn't reach them but what did we care? Five dozen moons on the horizon ahead The surface unstable and nothing to clutch For a gas giant consists of things not to touch Dear Jupiter, we sink in regret Allowed just one word To describe the earth He said "fragile". Mr. Collins, good bye! Above all horizons Alone in the darkness He watched and met nobody's eye We should know and not feel whether this was our aim We cooled down and structured our souls But the third pair of socks won't bring back the spring To Uranus' face made of frozen rain But since this is still Earth: could we possibly try Not to spoil everything by choosing a way That's already proven to lead us astray? 'Cos the stakes for this gamble are high Allowed just one word To describe the earth He said "fragile". Mr. Collins, good bye! Above all horizons Alone in the darkness He watched and met nobody's eye
