Lyrics
Nothing that you
Would rather do
But don't get too close
Don't get too close
Maintain orbit - don't get too close
Maintain orbit - don't get too close
I have received the message
I sense what lies ahead
No misinterpretation
No chance that I've misread
So this is what it's come to
This sardonic circumstance
Confinement without barriers
An agonizing dance
This is the kind of spell I'm under
This is the kind of hell I'm in
Far and away too far away
No end to wanting to begin
The moon kept from its lover
By a futile hope undone
Waits in silent isolation
For some merciful conclusion
