Intro

x2

[Riff played with verse]

Verse 1

There's a big, black picture and it's hanging on the wall.

With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all.

And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,

Ready to explode, implode I really can't recall

Chorus

But it's out there, and I'm down here.

And so far from it all

Verse 2

Everything's expanding in a constant state of change.

Everything's demanding in a constant state of pain.

You radiate away. Your last remaining heat

Your atmosphere has blown away when you admit defeat

Chorus

But its out there (don't know where we are)

And I'm down here (don't know why we are)

And so far from it all

Interlude

Your time, your grace, your story in place, your life-span erased

Verse 1

[Repeated]

There's a big, black picture and it's hanging on your wall.

With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all.

And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,

Ready to explode, implode I really can't recall

Chorus

x2

But its out there (don't know where we are)

And I'm down here (don't know why we are)

And so far from it all
