Meg Hutchinson - Yellow Room lyrics

I gave my ticket to the man, found my seat and I held on with both hands Nothing but amusement that was my plan Flung out to the emptiness to the billion stars And every cell rose to greet them in that dark The earth so simple from so far away, forgotten in the field after the children played Their games of war, in the name of God their search for more How strange it seemed, suddenly stranger than my dream Just enough water, just enough light The impossible chance at making life From jawless fish and flightless birds to opposable thumbs what a miracle Opposable thumbs, what a miracle Woke in a yellow room, on a city street The noise of the morning, the rush and the heat Not too sad not too happy, not missing anything, desire-less and free for a moment Clock radio breaking the still, with a new d**h toll Could this be the place I saw from space it kinda sounds like hell With our games of war, blood of the earth leaking out like oil How strange it seemed, suddenly stranger than my dream Just enough water …. And even more amazing, yeah even more amazing, Love
