stargazing from the bathroom naked astronaut
stargazing from the bathroom

when oxygen is thin and rare and memory left cold and bare
bodies become obsolete as we stare into the empty sheets
the birds are strange and fly alone and buildings groan all night long
the great transgression transmundane joyful and to your right is heaven

how would our heroes fare so beautiful and debonair?
stripped of their samson's hair a virtual electric chair
and the nameless will remain less vulnerable to pain
less vulnerable to impermanence and the nameless will remain

these days i dance a lot
you can't see me but i sure dance a lot
bathroom solitude is what i needed
stargazing, i'm dancing and bleeding

and space looks so pristine now the earth could never seem so clean
but distance makes the dirt shine the devil seem almost divine
i breathe in what you breathe out listening to whispered shouts
from high above the rain blows down heaven also sweats
in sound and light, in light
