Shadow moving on a yellow moon, it's been so long, i still can't prove it
Where's the silver flame i read about
Coming down from so far out there, landing in the lonely desert
I guess they just came and turned around
Everybody loves a savior, or just something that can explain it
Standing in the rain or spinning out
Something to defend the feeling, a story better than the real thing
A more heroic ending, than the one around us
Satellites and angel voices, yesterday tried to destroy us
Morning came up golden anyhow
Maybe there's a great creator, a far off planet trying to save us
But we've just got each other for now
Magazines and mindless movies, all the things we find to fool us
Circling a vacant parking lot
Speed of sound and blind belief, life is short and we're all leaving
Trying to find the meaning, then we're off
Satellites and angel voices, yesterday tried to destroy us
Morning came up golden anyhow
Maybe there's a great creator, a far off planet trying to save us
But we've just got each other for now
Prayer and planetary motion, the whole thing dangling in orbit
And we can't ever quite get turned around
Maybe there's a spaceship coming, a cloudy figure breathing thunder
But we've just got each other for now"
