Lyrics

Blue Spotted Tail [Solstice]

[Refrain]

Why in the night sky are the lights hung?

Why is the earth moving 'round the sun?

Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one

Why in the night sky are the lights hung?

[Verse 1]

Why is life made only for to end?

Why do I do all this waiting then?

Why this frightened part of me that's fated to pretend?

Why is life made only for to end?

[Verse 2]

In the city only for a while

Here to face the fortune and the bile

I heard you on the radio, I couldn't help but smile

In the city only for a while

[Refrain]

Why in the night sky are thе lights hung?

Why is the earth moving 'round the sun?

Floating in thе vacuum with no purpose, not a one

Why in the night sky are the lights hung?
