lyrics

Smoke and stardust fills my lungs
Makes me think that the planets are just too high strung
(along, strung along)
Stardust comes and stardust goes
I see the moon and it's shoutin' at the people down below
(get off, get off)

'Cos we're all just nothing floating through space-time
'Cos we're all just nothing floating through space-time

We're all just someone hanging 'round dreamin'
We're in the middle of a pattern that just keeps repeating on
We're all just something hanging around dreamin'
We're at the bottom of a black hole searching for meaning

If you look up at the sky, you'll see the edges of space
But what separates them, the horizon or the brain?
From a distance it's all the same,
And we're the ones to blame, we're the ones to blame
Just a great, big, calamitous happenstance.

If you'd just look at the planets
You'd see that they were manic
But what set their paths,
Your God or my Math?

Have you ever thought that maybe He was naught?
That you were born on that day to die and decay?

Who knows what we'll discover, if there should ever come a time when there is little left that is unknown. What will we find at the end? Will it be God, or will there be nothing?
