Passengers

We are passengers traveling through the afterworld

We can’t know where we come from

And Pasiphae’s just another moon

Jupiter, he’s by my side

And we watch galaxies collide

My apathy is losing ground

Open my mouth and make a sound

Someone’s in the rearview mirror

I see them pulling up beside me

Humming like a throated sparrow

I wipe an old tear from my eye

Just take the wheel and drive

You’re listening to the songs of celestial kings

Coming down you look for me

Here I am, reaching perigee

Someone’s in the rearview mirror

I see them pulling up beside me

Humming like a throated sparrow

I wipe an old tear from my eye

Someone’s in the rearview mirror

Stay in your lane, you’ll be fine

Mercury is stuck in Scorpio

And the Little Dipper’s dripping dry

Take it in, open your heart, they’re smiling

Hold on

Take it in, open your ears, they’re laughing

Hold on

Take it in, open your mouth, they’re singing

Hold on

We’re passengers and the road is long
