lyrics

In a dream you’re the golden one
Never hurt no one, never did any harm
So it’s a mystery when you wake
To find you’re not Fra Mauro, you’re just junk in outer space
And it’s a mystery when you see
Someone else mapped everything while you were asleep
And you dreamed that you were immune
But you’re not Fra Mauro you’re just a crater on the moon

And we can’t throw you a line
But we’re sending our prayers at this critical time

Well you dream you’re the golden one
Borne along on the current of a course charted for you
Vaccinated and stamped and safe
Like it’s all yours alone to circumnavigate
So it’s a mystery when you’re seized
With a sense that shit ain’t where it promised to be
And this map that they made you is no use
You forgot Fra Mauro Is just a crater on the moon

And we can’t throw you a line
But we’re sending our prayers at this critical time

You wanna plant your flag among the faultless Just cos you never snorted chemtrails with flat-earthers
Red pill man-babies or birthers
You just thought maybe you were due some table service

But at 300,000 Ks it’s too much to conceive
When you look behind to find the kind of crater you leave
Footprint in a vacuum, AVCOAT all but melted Burnt up on re-entry high above the South Pacific

Well we can’t throw you a line
But before you go and sink without a trace
Fra Mauro is just a crater on the moon
But we’re not Fra Mauro we’re just junk
We’re just more junk in outer…
