lyrics

Look out, but don't waste your time
You're running out of energy, you've got to move slowly
You turn away.

From the pale blue dot
A humble beginning
You were locked out of heaven
From the minute you left home
With no human contact
Maintaining radio silence
You're told you're unimportant
But someone's still watching
With eyes up to outer space
To catch a glimpse
Of the great beyond.

Do you love the color of the sky wen it rains in the ocean?
Do you love the color of the sky?

We live on a god-forsaken rock at the edge of the galaxy
We may be all alone out there, but we don't let that get us down
I there anybody else out there we'll just wait and see
File a report with the agency
Classify them A to Z in descending relevancy
But we still haven't explored the sea

You spread yourelf too thin, like the ever-present metaphor of all the paramedics who smoke a pack a day because they are too busy saving the lives of other people to care about saving their own.
And if you ever decide that you want to grow old, I hope you'll take a look back on all of the good you did when you were young and realize that, hey, you were a pretty stellar person living in god-awful circumstances.
And sometimes it's okay to do the talking, because just sitting there and looking pretty isn't everything.
And now it's morning, and you'll just have to wake up and face reality, just like every other day.

Thank you so much to Greg Mckinnon for recording and mixing this track and for putting up with my lack of free time to get this done every spare minute we had.
