We’re passing by Just ships in the night Never turning on a lantern or a light After all this time your violet eyes are still Burned into my mind So plant your flowers deep out in space And watch them bloom for all the human race Drag me down to earth, I need to touch base I feel surreal and out of place It’s been so long since I’ve seen a familiar face It gets so lonely up here in outer space I feel so wrong fitting in yet being out of place Maybe I’ll drift ‘til I shift into another state And don’t you dare relapse You’ve fallen into fiction with science at your back We’re passing by Just ships in the night Never turning on a lantern or a light After all this time your violet eyes are still Burned into my mind Now all I’ve seen will come to be SongtexteBut it is still yet to pass us by Now count your sheep and go to sleep It’s time to say goodnight I’m afraid that if I step out into the sun (Time to say goodnight) I will fade, disintegrate and I’ll become no one (Time to say goodnight) Into another state Oh, another state We’re passing by Just ships in the night Never turning on a lantern or a light After all this time your violet eyes are still Burned into my mind Look in between all that’s seen and unseen Let your body oscillate uncontrollably So iridescent, what a vibrant gleam My eyes dilate deep into eternity I’ve grown numb to the sound of the city and the cars I wish we could go back to how it was before I travelled far away and deep into the north Oh, son don’t wander, no Stay your course Oh, son don’t wander No, stay your course For you I’d tear the moon out of the sky Oceans will swell and the seas will run dry Water is falling up into the night But gravity is like a tide Weightlessness is on our side We’re passing by Just ships in the night Never turning on a lantern or a light After all this time your violet eyes are still Burned into my mind Aus Songtexte Mania
