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)
