She sleeps with the planets
I know because I've seen it
I sleep next to science
Wishing it were her
We were once a product of
Conservative America
She slept around, then left this town
Went looking for her Sun

She flirts with the moons
And lets them think they have her
My cheeks are rosy-red
I try to make her laugh but
When she was young, she saw a film
Then packed her bags and marked a date
The time has come, 2001
She's on her own space odyssey

I'm no cosmonaut, so I...
Tie an anchor to a woman
Watch her chew through bone to set herself free

She's not equipped for black holes
And I just want her in my arms
I'm not equipped for long-term

She's been here, I smell her
She's like the wind before the rain
Naked, she'd tell me
Only stars know what she's really thinking
She's in the arms of Jupiter
I'll give back his moons in trade for her
All beat and scarred he swears
The stars have taken her from me

And I
Tie an anchor to a woman
Watch her chew through bone to set herself free

She's not equipped for black holes
And I just want her in my arms
I'm not equipped for long-term
And I just want

I found my old sketches
Of flying packs, brown paper wings, and fire
She slipped out the back door and left me
So I learned to fly

Years fly by in search of you
Skin dries up, eyes go too

Space fucklers say I should leave it alone
The Milky Way traveler, well, he's seen it all
Left Earth long ago to find a love of his own
The lonely star juggler can never go home

I'm no cosmonaut

And I don't know anymore
There's little mean bugs in my veins
Can I stick to you, my love?
Cause I'll stick to anyone

I'm in love with everyone
Bugs humming space hymns in my ear
I wake up stuck to someone
I wake up in other years

Does anyone believe in time
And do you feel the years slip by?
Cause I do
Does anyone believe in age
And do you see my skin drip off?
Cause I do
Does anyone believe in love
Cause I've been face-to-face with her
And I don't
Does anyone believe in God?
And do you feel the flames of Hell?
Cause I do

Or maybe I just don't at all
It's really fucking hot in here

So I sit
In the streams of time and wait
And I try
To convince myself that I am not to blame
She swims with
And sleeps in every moon jelly she sees

Such is life
And such is me

I'm asleep all the goddamn time
I can't believe that any of this is real
It's ineffable
It's all in my head
My mind is melting
And moving
And stretching
And teething
