[Verse 1]

The awful thing about it

There's a kindness in which you speak it

You really didn't want to

And you're sorry that you had to

Sure they can't divert it

You don't wanna make a scene

But that astronom-it

Yeah, it's coming for you

And for me

[Chorus]

I'm waiting for

The celestial intervention

[Verse 2]

The awful thing about it

Is the time it takes to orbit

It's like a home but bigger

I can see it in the distance

I see it as a trigger

I can move it with my fingers

[Chorus]

I'm waiting for

The celestial intervention

And praying for our

Celestial intervention

[Verse 3]

I had a rock, was really strong

A hundred metres wide

Back then I really thought it held me

I felt it inside

The rock itself was faultless

So smooth the whole way round

And when it came across the sky

It was suddenly on the ground

The awful thing about it

There was no one there to hear it

Not a fork and a parrot

But it shoots across my mind

[Chorus]

I'm waiting for

A celestial intervention

And praying for

A celestial intervention

[Verse 4]

When you came out of the ocean

You were green just like the potion

That I made in North London

Before I grew up

[Chorus]

I was waiting for

A celestial intervention

I'm waiting for

A celestial intervention
