Prelectricity

Before the invention of the electric light

Stars were visible to everyone on every night

Without prevention, whether it's wrong or right

They disappeared in the night sky when the lights got bright

No longer sheltered by the vast night sky

Bejeweled by the glow,

Catches the eye but sheltered in a halogen dome

Hard to see them from our home

Replaced by plastic replicas

Held in place by sticky foam (yay-I)

Now we have to go so far away

From civilization today I say

To see the stars the we've forgotten

Just to find the cause of all this ideology

That we no longer need

But I don't believe it til I see it

No I don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it

Til I see it

The calender we follow rotation of the moon

Overlooked and often swallowed fed to us by silver spoons

The tide in all it's grace and might effected by the moon at night

The story of magnetic love lost in space to tired to fight

Against the ever growing rift

Between the stars the gift

Reason with ourselves a bit

Shut out concepts to uplift a false idolatry

A common currency

Plastic replicas of the sky indeed

But I don't believe it til I see it

No I don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it

Til I see it

So far away

So far away

So far away

So far away
