jupiter crash

she follows me down to the sound of the sea

slips to the sand and stares up at me

"is this how it happens? is this how it feels?

is this how a star falls?

is this how a star falls?"



the night turns as i try to explain

irresistable attraction and orbital plane

"or maybe it's more like a moth to a flame?"

she brushes my face with her smile

"forget about stars for a while..."

as she melts...



meanwhile millions of miles away in space

the incoming comet brushes jupiter's face

and disappears away with barely a trace...



"was that it? was that the jupiter show?

it kinda wasn't quite what i'd hoped for you know..."

and pulling away she stands up slow

and round her the night turns

round her the night turns...



yeah that was it

that was the jupiter crash

drawn to close and gone in a flash

just a few bruises in the region of the splash...



she left to the sound of the sea

she just drifted away from me

so much for gravity...
