Girlyman - Supernova lyrics

rate me

Could the archangels have ever dwelt

In the whispering Kuiper Belt

When the gasses all began to melt

And know their name?

It's like when everyone's up in my face

And I want to quit the human race

Find a quiet corner out in space

And stake my claim

Gone, the supernova's over - burned out

Everywhere I look for it I strike out

Now the gasses all begin to fade

Into a suborbital parade

Circling everyone who could have stayed

But would not dare

And the asteroids have all gone home

Gone to bed, they've all turned off their phones

Unto the cosmic dust from whence they've grown

They now repair

Gone, the supernova's over - burned out

Everywhere I look for it I strike out

So if you and I are all that's left

In a universe sad and bereft

Should I smile and say it's for the best

Or should I shout?

Gone, the supernova's over - burned out

Everywhere I look for it I strike out
