N.E.O.

歌詞

N.E.O. Near Earth Object. A solid body whose orbit lies within the orbit of Mars. Moons Asteroids. Meteorites. And human debris. You can see a meteorite almost any night. Go out to the desert You might find a piece. They are pieces of stars, Same as you and me They have travelled through space for thousands of years. Perhaps you will get lucky but you will never find a piece of Soyuz or Sputnik or Apollo 9 They are still out there They are very faint And the pollution in earths atmosphere washes out their pale light Floating without air, without light or else - charred on the re-entry They are still out there floating within the orbit of Mars. Look at it this way: a river of space, a ribbon of time like a burial by a beaurocrat undercover of a cold war risk. a cloud of dust-a cloud of rubble spinning in space on the heels of the Hubble a parallel, or a temporal rip in the belly of the Cosmos somewhere in a hanger a fossilized finger stored by the government, hidden from the press some young top gun s first solo turned out to be a N.E.O.
