Objects Outlive Us: Objects: MeanwhileCifra

Em 
Her shopping bag broke sending eggs and flour crashing 

Down to the ground, just like star clusters smashing 
C 
But no one will give her a glance 

They just shuffle on home in a trance 
Em 
The tiniest lives fill their hives up with worry 

To make it to church, well, she needs to hurry 
C 
When late she will bow down contrite 

While a meteor turns out the light 

Bm 
And there in an ordinary street 
Dm6 
A car isn't where it would normally be 
C 
The driver in tears, 'bout his payment arrears 
Cm 
Still, nobody hears whеn a sun disappears 
G 
In a galaxy afar 

Em 
First day of the new job and hе was so nervous 

The suit and the platitude, 'Can I be of service?' 
C 
His boss made him clean all the cars 

While he wondered, 'Is there life on Mars?' 
Em 
And meanwhile the stars line themselves up in order 

While we bicker on with our fences and borders 
C 
But best not think about that 

It's better to live without facts 

Bm 
And now in her old wedding bed 
Dm6 
A lady will dream that her husband is dead 
C 
Of course he's alive, he'll be home around five 
Cm 
Still, silence arrives, when a nebula dives 
G 
Into our Milky Way 

Em 
The thunder and rain start, the paving stones melt 

And oddly the first spots make Orion's belt as 
C 
You queue at the bank for an hour 

'Cause a solar flare blew out the power 
Em 
The nurse in the care home now empties a bath tub 

The water will spiral, a galaxies vast hub 
C 
Is draining away as we speak 

But she loses her job there next week 

Bm 
And there with his first telescope 
Dm6 
A teenager stands full of hormones and hope 
C 
As he squints at the night, like a painting of light 
Cm 
He doesn't suppose that a black hole implodes 
G 
In a trillion tears from now (Ah)
