Easy to poke yourself square in the eye
Harder to like yourselfharder to try

These are espouses
Postcards and neoprene
Roses a dollar a stem
Everyone sleeping or pulling the long haul and
Keys/caves(?) in the cooler it s three A.M.
And saturn is beckoning no-one
It s offering up.

Late shift convenience storeburn out the lights
Telescope roof towards the north-western sky
You pulled the ladder and no-ones the wiser
You find your sights and discover

Saturn is orbiting nothing
He s off on its own
He s breaking from home.

Harder to look yourself square in the eye
Easy to take off...

You found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist
You ve seen and you ve marked horizions
Mother was difficultshe made you cry
Cover the mirrorlook to the sky

You climb into your rocket ship trying
Lift up and hold out your hands.

Saturn is orbiting nothing
He s off on its own
He s breaking from home

Saturn is orbiting nothing
He s off on its own
He s breaking from home

Saturn returns when you chased downit slows
Throw them into a new gravity

Harder to look yourself square in the eye
Easy to poke yourselfeasy as pie
Easy to take offharder to fly
Harder to wake Galileo.
