The smartest men they built a rocket

Aimed it at a target far far far away

But by the time they knew they lost it

It was a long way

Was a long way

Was a long way

We ' re a long way

We ' re a long way

We ' re a long way off

The smartest men they saw a world with

Corners and endings far far far away

But when they drew it out and searched it

They were a long way

Were a long way

Were a long way

We ' re a long way

We ' re a long way

We ' re a long way

The erudite composed a thesis

Everything we see is all all all there is

But as an apophatic mystic

We ' re a long way

We ' re a long way we ' re a long way

We ' re a long way

We ' re a long way we ' re a long way off

When the waves of time

Wash the shores stark clean

Of the memories the last of me

With my castles gone to the constant sea

Will you stay with me

Stay with me
