Lyrics:

Words and music by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy



There's a big, black picture and it's hanging on the wall.

With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all.

And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,

Ready to explode, implode I really can't recall



But it's out there, and I'm down here.

And so far from it all



Everything's expanding in a constant state of change.

Everything's demanding in a constant state of pain.

You radiate away. Your last remaining heat

Your atmosphere has blown away when you admit defeat



But its out there (pal – don't know where we are)

And I'm down here (pal – don't know why we are)

And so far from it all



Your time, your grace, your story in place, your life-span erased



There's a big, black picture and its hanging off your wall

The stars and all the planets, the milky way and all

And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf,

Ready to explode, implode I really can't recall.



But its out there (pal – don't know where we are)

And I'm down here (pal-don't know why we are)

And so far from it all.

But I'm out here (pal – don't know where we are)

Down here (pal – don't know why we are)
