well I saw something that resembled that place,
on the otherside where we were together
on the moon we walked and kicked up lots of dust
we made a space cloud of us
and all that stuff we were afraid of
we had a home there and in the glow we'd stare at each other
at nothing other than each other
and I thought, nothing could ever touch us
except the space dust all around us
but now there's something digging down, into the crust,
trying to find a ocean there, under the home we shared
they sat there weight down
and like an earthquake we cracked
was it the government who sent them?
was it their scientific vision?
to destroy past recognition?
they did approach without concern
and when they warned us of their plan, we didn't listen
and they would take our gentle light,
our moon and our whole life
replace what we had grown with their ambition
and we would be sure to fail
if we began to form an opposition
nobodies right, they say
nobodies wrong, they say
we are generous and good
and we will have it our way
yes, we will have it our way, they say
now take all of your dust
your love and all your trust
we're sending you upon your final mission
and then I found myself in orbit
and the last thing I observed
the last words that I heard
were 'don't forget to send in your transmissions
we expect you to report on your condition'
then I saw something that resembled that place,
on the otherside where we were together
they will take our gentle light,
our moon and our whole life
