Objects Outlive Us: Objects: Meanwhile

Em
Her shopping bag broke sending eggs 
and flour crashing

Down to the ground, just like star 
clusters smashing
C
But no one will give her a glance

They just shuffle on home in a 
trance
Em
The tiniest lives fill their hives 
up with worry

To make it to church, well, she 
needs to hurry
C
When late she will bow down contrite

While a meteor turns out the light

Bm
And there in an ordinary street
Dm6
A car isn't where it would normally 
be
C
The driver in tears, 'bout his 
payment arrears
Cm
Still, nobody hears whеn a sun 
disappears
G
In a galaxy afar

Em
First day of the new job and hе was 
so nervous

The suit and the platitude, "Can I 
be of service?"
C
His boss made him clean all the cars

While he wondered, "Is there life on
 Mars?"
Em
And meanwhile the stars line 
themselves up in order

While we bicker on with our fences 
and borders
C
But best not think about that

It's better to live without facts

Bm
And now in her old wedding bed
Dm6
A lady will dream that her husband 
is dead
C
Of course he's alive, he'll be home 
around five
Cm
Still, silence arrives, when a 
nebula dives
G
Into our Milky Way

Em
The thunder and rain start, the 
paving stones melt

And oddly the first spots make 
Orion's belt as
C
You queue at the bank for an hour

'Cause a solar flare blew out the 
power
Em
The nurse in the care home now 
empties a bath tub

The water will spiral, a galaxies 
vast hub
C
Is draining away as we speak

But she loses her job there next 
week

Bm
And there with his first telescope
Dm6
A teenager stands full of hormones 
and hope
C
As he squints at the night, like a 
painting of light
Cm
He doesn't suppose that a black hole
 implodes
G
In a trillion tears from now (Ah)
