Lyrics
Objects Are Closer
Thirteen hours
He?s been out there for thirteen hours
He says: Objects in mirror are closer than they are
Objects in mirror appear closer than they are
Objects are never as close as they are
Objects are closer than you are
Seven days?a month of Sundays
She?s been waiting for a month of Sundays
He says: Objects appear closer than they are
Objects appear much closer than they are
You appear closer than you really are
Don?t stand?don?t stand so close to me
Don?t stand there?no, just stand there
Don?t do something, just stand there
I?m appearing closer now
I?ve never been closer than I am
Objects in mirror are not objects in the mirror
It?s an illusion?it?s a projection
You?re so much closer in the mirror
than you seemed when you were right here
I don?t know what to do with the information
It?s 11:50?It?s 11:50?it?s close to midnight
I want to go to bed?I want to go to bed
I know I won?t be able to sleep
not with this stuff hanging over my head
