II. Solar System Songtext
(Oh, a ball)
(I am a ball)
(A ball of fire)
Oh no! I am lacking
I want what I see
You, fireball, have rolled away
In shaded valleys
So here I am in the creekbed
So here I feel my way, in the dark
What wonder? What treasure map?
What breaking of day?
What stream used to flow here?
And now what dusty decay
Let the flash flood begin
Wash me down the canyon
Quicksand pull me in
Blow over me, solar wind
You′re vultures in trees
I know you're out there
You′re lanterns on lakes
I know you're out there
You're soccer balls on knees
Through your skirt I see
Your legs gracefully
I know you′re out there
You′re swaying and pleased
I know you're out there
You′re vultures in trees
I know you're out there
In mountainous peaks
Don′t let gravity win
Blow on me, solar wind
(I am a ball)
(A ball of fire)
Oh no! I am lacking
I want what I see
You, fireball, have rolled away
In shaded valleys
So here I am in the creekbed
So here I feel my way, in the dark
What wonder? What treasure map?
What breaking of day?
What stream used to flow here?
And now what dusty decay
Let the flash flood begin
Wash me down the canyon
Quicksand pull me in
Blow over me, solar wind
You′re vultures in trees
I know you're out there
You′re lanterns on lakes
I know you're out there
You're soccer balls on knees
Through your skirt I see
Your legs gracefully
I know you′re out there
You′re swaying and pleased
I know you're out there
You′re vultures in trees
I know you're out there
In mountainous peaks
Don′t let gravity win
Blow on me, solar wind
