Lyrics

Interstellar Telephones

Who was the girl
That salvaged me
When I lay shattered
Split between
The seeping grounds
Of killing fields?
[I couldn't see you
But I could feel you.]

Why did she grace me
With her gifts
Prolong my life
Reseal my flesh
Then sear my seams
With her countenance?
[If I could find you
I'd live beside you.]

But I can't be still
Because I've sealed
Her singing stars
Inside of me.


Chorus:
We could ring forever
Interstellar telephones
Transmitting and receiving
No ending, no beginning
And that's all right with me
If I got my girl
Got my girl with me.


She let me feel
The dance of atoms
She let me steal
From void to matter.
Then she birthed the stars
Of human longing
Then she gave me scars
I've not forgotten.

Cuz' she receded
Without a trace
A distant fragment
Lost in the space
Where lonely stars
Ride lonely waves
[If I could find you
I'd swim beside you.]

But I'll never cease
Until I find her
I want her here
inside of me.


Chorus:
We can ring forever
Interstellar telephones
Transmitting and receiving
No ending, no beginning
And that's alright with me
If I got my girl
Got my girl with me.


Her stars inside me
Sing to keep me sober
Her stars inside me
Ring to keep me roaming
Her stars inside me
Bring my baby closer
[If I could find you
I'd ring beside you.]

Chorus 2 x:
We can ring forever
Interstellar telephones
Transmitting and receiving
No ending, no beginning
And that's all right with me
If I got my girl
Got my girl with me.
