Keen Yellow Planet

The keen yellow planet

Bleeding out into the night

Hidden oceans of longing

Now tell me that this is right

Intoxicated by stars

Very far away from land

At a hotel near the airport

I hear the planes start and land

I'm never close

I'm just that shadow

Underneath your window

I like the pose

All night my naked stare

Will make you stay awake

The keen yellow planet

Bleeding down over the earth

All dead serious lovers

Now tell me what this is worth

Intoxicated by darkness

Very far away from home

This poison must be harmless

'Cause my body is still warm

I'm never far

From where I lie

I'll easily reach and touch you

I will stir your heart

I will stare you out

Till you return my gaze
