Lyrics
Walking myself home at night from nowhere
In the window service hours of padlocked bars
Feelin’ nice, seein’ twice, with the prance of an
Astronaut on Mars

Slowly spinning in a spiral pattern
Oscillating like the rings of Saturn do
In the orbit of a strange force that I can’t
Get around or through

Like a magnet on a metal whisper
I am feeling more observed than understood
Am I near? Am I far? Am I here at all?
Who knows? You do.

Telescope stretches time through a glass
Down to earth. Reflects light from the past
Telescope magnifies all that I aim it on
Black holes, the stars and you.

I was young when I unlearned my accent
So that someday I could speak to someone like you
So I taught myself to talk like a person who
I thought that you’d listen to

But sometimes I just think I wish I were you
Do I really want your love? Of course I do
But just to be half as free as you are
That’d be nice too

Microscope on a petri plate
Shows a world both atomic and great
Microscope. Slide by slide, my hidden pieces
Are filed in your lab library

You’ve got a microscope on me
I’ve got a telescope on you
I see you coming from miles away
And you can see what my brain cells do
My heart is set to explode
It beats your name out in code
Like a thunderstorm getting closer to town
In the asteroid’s path
What you wash out in a bath
To the earth
Down the drain
With one eye, magnify to explain
