Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sun turning 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely
You're 100 light years from home
[Verse 2]
Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely
You're 600 light years from home
[Verse 3]
It's so very lonely
You're 1000 light years from home
[Verse 4]
It's so very lonely
You're 1000 light years from home
[Verse 5]
Bell flight fourteen, you now can land
See you on Aldebaran
Safe on the green desert sand
[Verse 6]
It's so very lonely
You're 2000 light years from home
It's so very lonely
You're 2000 light years from home
Written by: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger
