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
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.
