I feel like a planet that hasn't got a moon,
Come orbit me and light night skies with everything you do,
But I won't give up gravity or tides or anything for you,
So tonight's just loneliness and emptiness as I'm slowly going out of tune,
Like a supernova that can't explode, I suck you into my black hole,
And rip you up, send you back in time to places that have haunted you,
And hurt you all your life.

I'm a north-going zax on a trail to south,
I'm the cat in the hat caught killing a mouse,
I'm a star-bellied sneetch with an iron-on tattoo of a star,
Right now I'd be anyone who has a clue who they are.

I feel like the pilot who's lost the nerve to fly,
I still look up every day and dream of ruling the sky,
Like a case of writer's block or dried up superglue,
Tonight I'm slowly but surely going out of tune,
Like a deep sea diver who won't take a bath,
For fear of slipping through the bathtub cracks,
Like a doctor who smokes 3 packs a day,
Like the kids in school who tell you that being smart should make you ashamed.

I'm swimming in an ocean of a thousand yous,
Tonight I'm slowly going out of tune,
So many words just make me confused,
Tonight I'm slowly going out of tune,
Painting myself blue to hide the bruise,
Tonight I'm slowly going out of tune.
