Sunset falls on another Eden
Where children play by the light of day
But here that always seems to be so far away
Candy's sweet when the nights grow long
Or paint your nails bright green
And sing a melancholy song
For no one else to hear
You stand alone in a hall of mirrors
Face yourself in the looking gla**
The price you pay for the isolation found
Ten thousand light years from the ground
Take your basket full of sorrows
Hang 'em on the branch on your only tree
In space, no one's ever there to hear you cry
The fox isn't very good company
But good company is always very hard to find
On an asteroid these days
So take a ride on Halley's comet
Just to find some other one to
Share the isolation found
Ten thousand light years from the ground
Just like James stands on the peach
Hope and glory in his reach
That's just like me
A little prince sits on his stone
Accepts the fact that he's alone
Just like me
You stand alone in a hall of mirrors
Face yourself in the looking gla**
The price you pay for the isolation found
Ten thousand light years from the ground
