lyrics

well, morning flashed before my eyes
left me stranded in its wake
i'm feeling overhypnotised,
too outerspace to mark my place.

these ghosts, i knew so well when i was young
of paradise, i've seen the setting sun
be warned! watch out! i've only just begun -
it's not so bright now
and my changing's done.

this stone's been thrown. this die's been cast.
i've hedged my secondguess
this orbit's spinning much too fast
for me to stop and catch my breath

oh, this old milky way i used to trust -
can only sit so comfortably in rust
(excuse me while my delusions dry to dust)
it's not so bright now
let my eyes adjust!

please tell my friends / contacts:
i won't be seeing them.

as i raise my face to greener fields
a weight lifts from my brow.
i'll get there fairly soon, i feel
(just something that i know, somehow)

the colours of the sky, i see, have blurred
as a busker walks along on down the road
it's just some country song i swear i've heard
and it's not so bright now: my point of no return

it's not so bright now
and it's of no concern
