The earth is such a long way down from here

Watching the evening slide away and drift clear

Darkness slips across its face and turning 'round

The distant lights all fade away

They slowly winking off and out

They slowly winking off and out

Pieces are coming apart with a static hiss

Can't see the stream through all of this

Can't escape the slow down grind

Desperate slow decline that takes its time

And slowly takes apart your mind

Slowly takes apart your mind

As the signal comes in and the lights decay

Put the hollow screen up to my face

Shed my diamond skin and let the outside in

Lights blurring down the tunnel

Bar-code the windshield

Dazzled strips of fluoro-aftertaste

Ionocrome

I'm all alone and drenched in drone

A scratchy wind-up gramophone

It's such a long way down

Such a long way down

It's such an awful long way

A long way away from home

Such an awful long way home

As the signal comes in and the lights go out

Put my face up to the screen

Shed my diamond skin to let the light pour in

Shed my diamond skin to let the light pour in

Signal comes in and the lights go out

Shed my diamond skin to let the light pour in
