Lyrics

Little Dipper

[Verse 1]

If we both stand with paths on high

And sink without the oceans, watch 'em dry

We can see far to the other side

It's you and I forever, we don't have to hide

[Verse 2]

If we ignore the signals that mission control will send

It's one big ship ride anyway, this hell will never end

We gaze out on what they left of the stars

All we see now, we can take as ours

[Chorus]

You two've got just moments left to give

Come back now and we will let you live

Stay inside our blue protective eye

We won't let them take you, we won't let you die

[Verse 3]

My baby spins propellants, my systems set to blow

She's at the milky way now, spelling into snow

And she's constructed flash points to cover up the sun

I sleep under glass, I know that she will wake me when she's done

[Chorus]

You two've got just moments left to give

Come back now and we will let you live

Stay inside our blue protective eye

We won't let them take you, we won't let you die

You two've got just moments left to give

Come back now and we will let you live

Stay inside our blue protective eye

We won't let them take you, we won't let you die
