Lost in Space

Your eyes are magnets
The darkness found another home
You distance your friends
Now you’re wandering alone
Sorrow soaks through
Straight through to the bone
Pulse is slowing to a deadly pace
Sweat keeps pouring off that melting face of fear
She’s cruising not using
A part of her it hears that little voice
Speakers are distorted, goes in for a check
Gets overhauled and souped up
Now she’s purring jet-set fuel injection
Automatic linear gauge
Takes a minute before the feel kicks in
And throws her back. retraces all her tracks
Before the flame appears
No one can follow her down here
He’s dreaming and scheming
Of ways to keep that rock and roll alive
Powerbook’s downloading
Lights another cigarette smile
Saving up for a vacation with his frequent flyer miles
And miles of satellite calls
Hitting up those stars before they fall and fade away
Forever lost in space
Before the fire destroys
The pain that no one knew was there
