Lost in Space - Calexico

Your eyes are magnets

The darkness found another home

You distance your friends

Now you’re wandering alone

Sorrow soaks through

Straight through to the bone

Pulse is slowing to a deadly pace

Sweat keeps pouring off that melting face of fear

She’s cruising not using

A part of her it hears that little voice

Speakers are distorted, goes in for a check

Gets overhauled and souped up

Now she’s purring jet-set fuel injection

Automatic linear gauge

Takes a minute before the feel kicks in

And throws her back.

retraces all her tracks

Before the flame appears

No one can follow her down here

He’s dreaming and scheming

Of ways to keep that rock and roll alive

Powerbook’s downloading

Lights another cigarette smile

Saving up for a vacation with his frequent flyer miles

And miles of satellite calls

Hitting up those stars before they fall and fade away

Forever lost in space

Before the fire destroys

The pain that no one knew was there
