One thousand thirty seven miles an hour
Mindless in circles we dance
If not for gravity we'd all be in space
Flung off like so many ants
This ageless cliff won't notice one more step
The sea will not even splash
White flowers flotsam on the turning tide
Blind waves eternally crash
Tell me tell me
The future is ours
But the earth doesn't need us
And neither do the stars
Take my hand
And speak to me of life in the sun
Frail cage of ivory cannot stand the strain
To keep the heart in its sheath
And though this sheet of ice seems stable enough
An ocean boils beneath
So calmly raging with a frozen smile
You dare not break this facade
And bows the troubadour the bleeding to hide
As all the monkeys applaud
You tell me tell me
The future is ours
But the earth doesn't need us
And neither do the stars
Take my feet
And show me how to walk in the sun
Your hope is nothing to me, just a word
That I could never define
Give me your dreams and I will tear them to bits
With hands that practiced on mine
I won't be beautiful until I fall
Fall into beautiful sleep
Take a running jump and plummet with me
Into the limitless deep
Don't tell me tell me
The future is ours
For the earth doesn't need us
And neither do the stars
Take my chains
And lead me back to life in the sun
