  • Another time, another place
    A hollow universe in space
    I took a trip to see the sights
    That will be black over a night
    One way ticket now returned
    My shootin' stars are vastly burnt
    On the edge that we can't see
    Let's shot the moon, you and me
    And that particular you'll see
    A just too lonesome galaxy

    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    At the speed of light
    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    We slip into the night

    I'll say a mass for you and wave
    Shootin' plasma from my grave
    Event horizon lost in space
    Runnin' in a human race
    I don't know where I don't know why
    But somehow back in time again
    I'm on the edge you can't see
    Another take your love at night
    A single party call on me
    You won't be trackin' me by sight

    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    At the speed of light
    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    We slip into the night

    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    At the speed of light
    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    At the speed of light

    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    At the speed of light
    Shadows in the stars
    We will not return
    Humanity won't save us
    At the speed of light
