Silver Flame

[Verse 1]

Shadow moving on a yellow moon, it’s been so long, I still can’t prove it

Where’s the silver flame I read about

Coming down from so far out there, landing in the lonely desert

I guess they just came and turned around

[Verse 2]

Everybody loves a savior, or just something that can explain it

Standing in the rain or spinning out

Something to defend the feeling, a story better than the real thing

A more heroic ending, than the one around us

[Chorus]

Satellites and angel voices, yesterday triеd to destroy us

Morning came up golden anyhow

Maybе there’s a great creator, a far off planet trying to save us

But we’ve just got each other for now

[Verse 3]

Magazines and mindless movies, all the things we find to fool us

Circling a vacant parking lot

Speed of sound and blind belief, life is short and we’re all leaving

Trying to find the meaning, then we’re off

[Chorus]

Satellites and angel voices, yesterday tried to destroy us

Morning came up golden anyhow

Maybe there’s a great creator, a far off planet trying to save us

But we’ve just got each other for now

Prayer and planetary motion, the whole thing dangling in orbit

And we can’t ever quite get turned around

Maybe there’s a spaceship coming, a cloudy figure breathing thunder

But we’ve just got each other for now
