I can see the curtain

The ending

Knew it was on its way

I just didn't want it to be today

Watch the cityscape

Drift from day to dusk to dark

Blurry indistinct, the sooty cape

Slowly slips across its jagged shape

Lights signaling

Some winking on, then blinking off

Lights signaling

Some winking red and red and white

I can see

Pigs over Battersea

Floating in flight

On quiet nights I can hear the stars

And cosmonauts talk

A ragged thirty-watt moon

Hangs over my hotel room

I saw you nodding out in the mouth of the night

Face full of white light grace

And I push your body out into space

Let it go, watch it drift away

Going on to beggar and bitter things

Just a fly with little plucked off wings

Going on to beggar and bitter things

And when the stars are all burned out

Don't try and tell me what it's all about

Look, look, they're right over there

Look, look, they're right over there (I'm screaming a sound)

Look, look, they're right over there (The sound that never ends)

Look, look, they're right over there (The sound that never ends)

Floating

In space

And I push your body out into space

Let it go, watch it drift away

Going on to beggar and bitter things

Just a fly with little plucked off wings

Going on to beggar and bitter things

Never fly, never earn your wings
