I can’t reach the sun.
I can’t breach these soils.
Out in the garden that will one day cover my bones
If I try to reach the sun.
And if we had the tools we’d shoot a rocket there.
Fire our troubles off into the thinning air.
But I can’t reach the sun.
I can’t breach these soils.
Out in the garden that will one day cover my bones
If I try to reach the sun.
Well we held a launch and everybody came,
But something went wrong and bystanders were maimed.
And all the engineers and scientists were shamed
‘cause they’re to blame.
