[Verse 1] (Guitar: Clean w/ Reverb)

From the moon
I see them
Speeding up to keep a quick pace

They saw me
From their world
Too busy to even care I'm not there

They are late
For their debate
About another useless existential subject

It's so quiet
Around up here
I wouldn't trade this up for nothing

[Chorus 1] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

Don't try to hook me
In that never ending race
Against everyone that comes
And tries to manipulate you {They would manipulate you}

I'll stay up here
Calm in my nest
Kept warm by cosmic rays
Flowing all over the place {Feels warm over my face}

[Verse 2] (Guitar: Clean w/ Reverb)

Good morning honey
Take your time but hurry up
The kids won't drive themselves to school

Wind brings dust
Over my cheeks
It feels like I'm better around up here

I won't change my mind
It's too loud down there
My place is here on the moon, yeah

[Chorus 2] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

Don't try to convince me
To race among your kind
I'll let everyone pass
And enjoy my life instead {I will enjoy my life}

You should come up here
Play in my space
I'll keep you warm
As I slow down the pace {While I admire your face}

[Bridge] (Guitar: Heavy Disto w/ Phaser)

Living like this everyday
Without taking a breathe

They'll be dead long before
They even know they lived

{That's not a life}

Forgetting to remember
The good times that passed by

They'll be sad long before
They even know they cared

{They don't care}

[Chorus 3] (Guitar: Heavy Disto)

I'm not getting hooked
In that overspeeding world
I prefer to live here
And play with stardust {I'll play with stardust}

They would not understand
Thinking I'm losing my life
While they're too occupied
To take care of their own child
