Words and Music
Miguel Capelo
Perplexed at these dangling ropes
Old school forgotten tropes
This martian returning home
All I have to report is
Mars is just another moon
We were much older than they made us
They made us younger still
And as the years went by
We swam right down this birth canal
We had no heavenly parallel
Pathetic and So Divine
Drove past your yard the other day
Remembering that last December
Explosions in my eyes
I thought you were an
Interstellar Galactic Hero
Sent here to see the sight
This third rock from the sun
Pathetic and So Divine
Don’t you ever break the oath we made
On a cold and blackened Earth Day
We are two one’s to remember
Two rights to forget
I know I’m being played
So I play at being known
Indifferent to the difference
Pathetic and yet Divine
