Orbital

So it was that everything

That went to make up everything

Was wrapped up tight inside a grain

Of great insistence

And then someone gave the great command

All things paired off for the dance

The great to small, the small to grand

Down to this instant, oh

Ooh

The hawk around the field mouse

The love around a lover’s mouth

I find my mind is settling down

In circuits 'round you

And the angels round their crowded pins

The amber-waved electrons spin

In planetary transits

'Round the ones they’re bound to

Ooh

Who do you circle 'round?

Who is it circles 'round you?

Is it circles 'round you?

Who is it circles 'round you?

Do you circle 'round who?

It is circles 'round you

The ghost around the one it haunts

The want around the thing it wants

The way the mind just wanders off and then returns to

And the thought around the second thought

Love or gravity or law

Whatever name it’s got, it’s got me

Circling round you

And the guess around the second guess

The hornet 'round the hornet’s nest

The wheel time, the wheel fate

The light that bends itself through space

The light that with it carries time

Which also bends in the same line

Relative to point of view

So when I catch a glimpse of you

Every time you come around

The room lights up

And time slows too

Ooh
