lyrics

Verse 1:
It’s automatic, nothing stays static
Ovoid transistors lie veiled in the attic
Bright floating lights that had left you forlorn
You could’ve sworn, could’ve sworn that you had it

When young and aloof, the age before disproof
You had your own terms, your own tales and truths
Born in a blue moon, bound to be saved soon
Plucked from the schoolyard, the trials of your youth

Chorus:
You always knew, your alien mind felt those solar winds
And we couldn’t have been of your questioning kind, of your wandering kin

Verse 2:
The strangers came raidin’ as your hope was fadin’
Drawn like a unicorn to a fair maiden
Lights from the sky, well they’d found you in time
And left with their moon machine fruitfully laden

Were you a wolf with a great hungry mind
Or a fawn sweetly crossing a dangerous line

Chorus
Instrumental Interlude

Bridge:
Poured all your wiles into test tubes and vials
Your work so beguiling drew whispered denial
But you didn’t need them, those hot-blooded heathens
Demanding the truth, because facts are in style
And if your shooting star bursts my helium heart
At least I’ll have reached for a world apart
And I’ll cry eureka when my antique eyes
see a sign all we’d hoped for is ready to start

Chorus

Chorus 2:
You saw right through the doubts and denial to electric dreams
And we couldn’t believe that what you proved real could possibly be

Chorus 3:
You always knew, your alien mind felt those solar winds
And we couldn’t have been of your questioning kind, of your world-weary kin
