Yellow Room

I gave my ticket to the man, found my seat and I held on with both hands
Nothing but amusement that was my plan
Flung out to the emptiness to the billion stars
And every cell rose to greet them in that dark
The earth so simple from so far away, forgotten in the field after the children
played
Their games of war, in the name of God their search for more
How strange it seemed, suddenly stranger than my dream
Just enough water, just enough light
The impossible chance at making life
From jawless fish and flightless birds to opposable thumbs what a miracle
Opposable thumbs, what a miracle
Woke in a yellow room, on a city street
The noise of the morning, the rush and the heat
Not too sad not too happy, not missing anything, desire-less and free for a
moment
Clock radio breaking the still, with a new death toll
Could this be the place I saw from space it kinda sounds like hell
With our games of war, blood of the earth leaking out like oil
How strange it seemed, suddenly stranger than my dream
Just enough water …
And even more amazing, yeah even more amazing
Love
