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)
