Launch Time

In your open hands
You held the sky
The universe expands
The sleepy stars go by

Here among the stars
Time moves so slow
Jupiter and Mars
Light years ago

I can not tell
For I do not know
Memory serves us well
In sauces with pistachios

Here among the stars
Time moves so slow
Jupiter and Mars
Light years ago

Peace time
War crime
Launch Time
Show time
Pass time
Peace time
Lunch time
Some time
Peace time
War crime
Launch Time
Show time
Pass time
Peace time
End time
Red line

Nobody knows
(we're predisposed)
Where it all goes
(to decompose)
We presuppose
(heads to our toes)
These ratios
(I suppose)

Here among the stars
Time moves so slow
Jupiter and Mars
Light years ago
Here among the stars
Time moves so slow
