Force quit

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
