THOMAS DOLBY N.E.O. LYRICS

N.E.O.


Near Earth Object.
A solid body whose orbit lies within the orbit of Mars.

Moons Asteroids. Meteorites.

And human debris.

You can see a meteorite almost any night.
Go out to the desert


They are pieces of stars,
You might find a piece.


Same as you and me


They have travelled through space for thousands of years.


Perhaps you will get lucky

but you will never find a piece of Soyuz

or Sputnik or Apollo 9
They are still out there



They are very faint
And the pollution in earths atmosphere

washes out their pale light




[ N.e.o. lyrics from http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/ ]


Floating without air, without light
or else - charred on the re-entry

They are still out there floating


within the orbit of Mars.


Look at it this way:

a river of space, a ribbon of time

like a burial by a beaurocrat

undercover of a cold war risk.

a cloud of dust-a cloud of rubble

spinning in space on the heels of the Hubble

a parallel, or a temporal rip

in the belly of the Cosmos

a fossilized finger
somewhere in a hanger


stored by the government, hidden from the press

some young top gun s first solo

turned out to be a N.E.O.
