Outer space

from Moonshine by Victor

lyrics

Once in a while I think of outer space
and dream of what it's like way up there.
But I'm always waking in this time and place
to the same old, same old something.

Louder and louder, can you hear me shout
beneath the ponderosas? I am empty,
laughing, as I think about
the bodies of my lovers.

Now a new melody brings out the best in me
an old pretty queen, come from a time machine.
I been waiting for summer, but summer never comes.

Still, I know it's only a matter of time.
How I been opening up now,
a flower in the spring sunshine.
I always been rolling downhill,
but now the grade begins to climb.
I'm keeping my eyes open wide,
but you don't gotta look to find.

Waking up early, staying out too late,
and coming home empty-handed.
If it was up to me, girl, I'd prefer to stay
and learn your body language.

Now the leaves return, along with fiddlehead ferns,
the longer the days, the shorter the skirts.
I've been waiting for summer,
but summer never comes.
