Lyrics:
SPACE CAN FEEL SO STILL
WHEN STUCK IN MOTION
WITH ALL THE YEARS TO FILL
BY CONSTANTLY REVOLVING
AND NOT TOO MUCH EVOLVING.
WHEN ALL THE OTHER MOONS
ARE FIFTY MILLION MILES AWAY…
THERE’S NOT A SOUL INSIDE THE ASTEROID BELT
WHO CAN HEAR A WORD I SAY...

BUT HERE’S THIS WORLD IN THE SKY,
A WORLD OF GREEN AND BLUE,
THAT NEVER SEEMS TO ANSWER.
IT’S A STRANGE, SYNODIC DANCE,
A SILENT, STOIC STONE
AND ME, THE LUNAR DANCER!

FACE TO FACE, NOT A WORD
FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS
TO YOUR LOYAL SATELLITE!
WHILE I GAZE, MILES AWAY
AROUND AND ‘ROUND I GO,
I’M DANCIN’ IN YOUR EARTH LIGHT!

CAN YOU SEE ME ORBIT AND ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU?
SEE ME ORBIT AND ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU!
YEAH, I ORBIT AND ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU!
DO YOU SEE ME ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU?

YOU AND I, ARE WE THE SAME?
A GODDESS AT YOUR CORE?
DOES SHE FEEL LIKE NO ONE KNOWS HER?
IF THERE IS, I WANNA KNOW,
AND TELL HER SHE’S NOT ALONE—
IF I COULD GET A LITTLE CLOSER...

BUT I ORBIT AND ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU.
SEE ME ORBIT AND ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU!
YEAH, I ORBIT AND ORBIT
AND ORBIT AROUND YOU!

AND I WON’T STOP, ‘CAUSE I CAN’T STOP
GETTIN’ CAUGHT IN YOUR GRAVITY.
NO I WON’T STOP, ‘CAUSE I CAN'T STOP
YOU WON’T STOP PULLIN’ ME.
NO I WON’T STOP, ‘CAUSE I CAN’T STOP
WE’RE BARRED BY THIS DIVIDE.
NO I WON’T STOP ‘CAUSE I CAN’T STOP, NO I CAN’T STOP...
BUT WHAT IF WE TRIED TO COLLAPSE THE DIVIDE?
WHAT IF SOMEDAY THE SPACE WASN’T SO WIDE?
SO GIVE ME A GLANCE AT YOUR GODDESS INSIDE!
LET’S FIND A WAY FOR OUR WORLDS…
TO COLLIDE!
LET’S COLLIDE!
SO THERE’LL BE NO MORE NEED TO KEEP…

ORBITING…
AND ORBITING…
AND ORBITING…
