You got it together
I read in the paper
All of these strangers
Stranger and stranger

No no no no no
No, you don't understand it
No no no no, you can't
Not much more you can stand it

Sooner or later
Gets later and later
You try to explain
But you don't want to wake her

No no no no, you, no
No, you don't understand her
No no no no, you, no
You no longer stand it

Move to the east
Away from the center
In relative peace
And measure for measure

No no no no, you can't
You try and remember
How all these pieces
And it all fits together

In the blink of an eye
For worse or for better
Year after year
Forever and ever

No no no no no no no
No, don't you need the present
No no if you no no
Not much more on your chest

In the bedrock and sand
At powers of ten
Layer on layer
A wish and a prayer

No no no no no
It's just what it seems
No no no no no
It's all that it means

In the blackness so deep
An outline of your hand
A blanket of stars
Forever and ever
And ever and ever

A blanket of stars
Forever and ever
No no no no no
