Michael Stipe - Saturn Return Lyrics
[Verse 1]Easy to poke yourself square in the eyeHarder to like yourself, harder to tryThese Elvis poses, postcards and neoprynRoses a dollar a stemEveryone’s sleeping or pulling a long haul,The keys in the cooler, it's 3 a.m.[Chorus 1]And Saturn is orbiting nothingIs off on it's ownIs offering up[Verse 2]Late shift convenience storeTurn out the lightsTelescope roof towards theNorthwestern skyYou pull the ladder uNo one's the wiserYou find your sights and discover[Chorus 2]That Saturn is orbiting nothingIs off on it's ownIs breaking from home[Bridge 1]Harder to look yourself square in the eyeEasy to take off[Verse 3]You found the ladder in the pattern of your wristYou’ve seen and you’ve marked horizonsMother was difficult, she made you cryCover the mirror, look to the skyYou climbed into your rocket-ship triumphLift up and hold out your hands[Chorus 3]Saturn is orbiting nothingIs off on it's ownIs breaking from home[Bridge 2]Saturn return when you chase down it's moonsThrow them into a new gravity[Bridge 3]Harder to look yourself square in the eyeEasy to poke yourself, easy as pieEasy to take off, harder to fly[Outro]Harder to wake GalileoHarder to wake GalileoHarder to wake Galileo
