A F It's offering up Late shift can bring in store, burn out the lights Telescope roof towards the northwestern sky You pulled the ladder and no one's the wiser You find your sights and discover Saturn is orbiting nothing He's off on its own He's breaking from home
G F G Harder to look yourself square
F in the eye
G F Em Easy to take off You found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist You've seen and you've marked horizons Mother was difficult, she made you cry Cover the mirror, look to the sky You climbed into your rocketship trying Lift up and hold out your hands Saturn is orbiting nothing He's off on its own He's breaking from home Saturn is orbiting nothing He's off on its own He's breaking from home Saturn returns when you chase down, it slows Throw them into a new gravity Harder to look yourself square in the eye Easy to poke yourself, easy as pie Easy to take off, harder to fly Harder to wake Galileo
