Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the belly of the jungle where I launched
I fly through time as dead as it is cold
I miss my home
Lonely cosmos
[Verse 2]
Fading in the solar
Space dream floating
I've been getting older
Satellite burning, galaxy shattering
Bathing in the cola
Bathing, bathing
Black Sea boating
Boating, boating
Alien freeloader
Loader, loader
Are we alone in this cosmic effigy?
[Chorus]
Splitting timber before the axe hits
Snowball rolling avalanches, roses for the prophet
In the haze, a swirling mystic appears with a sunburnt kiss
Quicksand, sunken ships, are we alone in the cosmic abyss?
[Verse 3]
I'm inhaling stardust
Don't leave me floating, this is not how I would want to die
I'm sitting on Saturn's rings
Don't leave me out, this isn't how I would want die
Orbiting is lonely until you comprehend we're only stardust
I'm the furthest I've ever been from home contemplating that every meteorite is my tombstone
[Refrain]
Lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lonely cosmos
[Verse 4]
I sent Ma and Pa sent some mail, will take 620 years to travel
I said, "I've seen beyond the ridge, from Milky Way until the edge"
But I still miss my home
Lonely cosmos
