LYRIC

Up on the wardrobe
15 past midnight
Gloom like cotton
A big TV set with volume rolled back and a sci-fi show on
Throwing some light on what the day couldn’t quite
See done
You’d like to get up now but you’ve been hit by a laser gun
Through a stack of old magazines you hoped would work like a time machine
And they did
Except not in the literal sense
The bit you were looking for was supposed to open the door into summer
But turned out to be something else

Time is running out now for the captain on the screen
Until you pull the plug on what till now has been
You favorite spaceship and make it disappear without a trace
The one threat he’s not likely quite prepared to face

But hey, that’s the breaks
You either have what it takes
Or you don’t
And he knew he was picking the losing side
In any case

Another stripe of light on the ceiling
From a passing car
And unlike the stars the morning’s now not too far
The cold eyes of the universe are indifferent to the scheme
That you fucked up for the millionth time
But still can’t seem
To give up on the dream
