Starburst

I dreamt the Earth was dying
We were choking on the fumes
Apocalypse, desintegration
We furnished our own doom

A cold and vast eternity
Was all our future held
We'd sucked it dry and only left
Pollution's acrid smell

It was some time
Some time on the trip to Uranus
Saturn, Pluto, Mars
Who could blame us?
Maybe some time

When the Moon
No longer feels the pull of the Earth
We'll be there at the new planet's birth
You and I
And we'll kiss
A Supernova born of our bliss
For light years it could happen like this
A galaxy, that we can call home

I sent my children skyward
I launched them into space
A herculean effort
The strain shows on my face

We headed for Saturn
Inspected his ring
The dog star and Pluto
We heard angels sing

It was some time
Some time on the trip to Uranus
Saturn, Pluto, Mars
Who could blame us?
Maybe some time

When the Moon
No longer feels the pull of the Earth
We'll be there at the new planet's birth
You and I
And we'll kiss
A Supernova born of our bliss
For light years it could happen like this
A galaxy, that we can call home

A black hole pulled us in
We saw Quasars
Saturn, Pluto, Mars
Who can blame us?
Maybe some time

When the Moon
No longer feels the pull of the Earth
We'll be there at the new planet's birth
You and I
And we'll kiss
A Supernova born of our bliss
For light years it could happen like this
A galaxy, that we can call home

That we can call home
Maybe some time
Maybe some time
