The Listener

Waiting bathed in black light

Ears tuned to the night sky

Armed with a satellite dish

I am the listener

Now I dreamt of mathematics

And I learned new equations

Numbers never heard of

I am the listener

It could be something special

It could be something new

It never seems to happen

When you want it to

Who taught the parrot to talk?

It speaks computer language

It's left me speechless

I am the listener

Waiting bathed in black light

Each star has it's own song

Music not meant to be heard

I am the listener

It could be something ugly

It never seems too clear

I don't believe in spaceships

I don't believe I'm here

Ooo it's not so easy stuck here, left on my own

Ooo it's not so easy stuck here, left on my own
