Earth, is there anything to see here?
Is there life left to shed another tear?
Then it occurs to me
The hopelessness of reality
Human life
A billion brilliant lights
The basis of all our life
Extinguished at one time
Can you carry me home?
Can you locate my mobile telephone?
Can you carry me home?
Can you cure my Stockholm Syndrome?
Many lights float about my being
Many lights are lost on me
Many eyes blind to see
The mystic haze of humanity
Search to find
A world commensurate with the living of life
Earthly delights
An ocean led by the Lunar tide
Can you carry me home?
Can you locate my mobile telephone?
Can you carry me home?
Can you relate to Jakob Böhme?

Time comes for everyone
To find what our brittle bones become
Salyut 6, Salyut 7
With a better craft I’m sure to reach heaven
Is it time for us to fall?
To Earth, as an asterodic cannonball
Open to me, the gates of Canaan
Where I’ll keep with celestial beings
Infinite sky
Bursting at the seams

Blank stare, ever open eyes
Give me a sign that you’re alive
Eyes open, ever blank stare
I’ve searched for you everywhere
October 20, 1967
I hope they have mysteries in Heaven
Wood knocks, projectile rocks bombard my remaining sense
Is this punishment for some unforgiven offences?
There could be anything out here
A relict ape or a San Franciscan bear
There could be anything out here but I’ll proceed without fear
October 20, 1967
I hope they have mysteries in Heaven

God gave me the power to alienate
Point the Arecibo Ray at my face and fire away
Particles splinter from the uncontrollable sound
Of a million tiny molecules lost, never found
A message sent to the endless sky
No read receipt in this hollow world of mine
Will we be an asterisk on the blackboard of time?
Is it physical or divine?
Ask me anything about The Sky at Night
Ask me anything about the Black Knight
Ask me anything about The Sky at Night
Ask me anything about the English top flight
Ask me anything about The Sky at Night
Ask me anything about the Challenger space flight
Ask me anything about The Sky at Night
Ask me anything you like

How long is a minute without a relative unit of time?
A clock pulses regularly through 300 years gone
By-gone era
Going, going, gone
Slave to no master
And master to no-one
A book missing every page
Missing the whole of the Dark Age
A secret history
Life through the eyes of cats
What price to lead a life free from the burden of facts?
A book missing every page
Missing the whole of the Dark Age

Dark clouds lie ahead
Car battery close to dead
Take Tiger Mountain by Force
Allow everything at once to run its course
Post-Truth Seeker
Down on Luck believer
A Good Sense of Hate
Pacemaker running late
My heart can’t cope with the pressure of late
Post-Truth Seeker
Down on Luck believer

Heavy heart, heavier hands
No friends to form a band
Became a masked man
This tape decays
The eternal asteroid
Tomorrow is no less real than today
Than yesterday
This minute is everywhere, at every time
No chalk left to draw the line
The fortress of time
Could this be the hour that the prophecy portends?
Nothing ends [Name redacted], nothing ever ends.
