The Universe
________________

The universe listens to me
It's got eyes and ears
And walks circles around me
Exploded out of nothing
I still think there was something precursory

Ten billion eyes looking away
From the center of the Earth
After a long day
Our searchlights shine on, endless
The sky ain't talked back to us
Since the olden days

I want you to know
That I still wear a ring
That's made of things
That used to be a sun

Eons
___________


Get big, get small
Let's pound on the walls
Until what's created
Is utter destruction

We'll disintegrate
And reincarnate
Eon upon eon

Big or small,
Let's pound on the walls
Implosion
Contraction

Then mass expands,
Creates human hands
It takes eon upon eon


Universe Reprise

The universe has spoken to me
It says "avert your eyes 
and don't stare out into me"
So ten billion eyes look to the stars...
Thank god we're thinking

I want you to know
That I still wear a ring
That's made of things
That used to be a sun
