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
