lyrics

Well our trip around the sun is gonna end
And I don’t believe in paradise
But what happens to us my friend
Is the same thing happens to every life
Cuz the world’s gonna spin, and the universe expands,
Black holes keep sucking light in
And dimensions may exist where the same you and me
Are doing it all again

In the Peloponnesian War
In the seas of Aegospotami
Sunk a sailor to the floor of her waters for all eternity
But the sun still arose, and people went to work
And it ain’t like he never, ever lived
Cuz a molecule of air that he held in his lungs is in every breath you give

Now we’re living in the bodies we inhabit in this life
And we fear the moment they’re gone
Start to hear the train whistle coming round the bend
It’s a sound says it won’t be long

Every trip around the sun’s gonna be
Something no one ever gets back again
You might wonder that it seems like a cruel way of counting back from ten
But the energy unleashed from a billion different stars makes its way into our atmosphere
And swirls around your brain and then travels back across
And it spreads your karma everywhere
