lyrics

Selene, Selene, a dreamer’s dream,
A silver coin upon a velvet screen,
A Marseille card, a celestial cheese,
All or maybe none of these,
Still I travel as I please,
To Selene upon her sickle-shaped trapeze.

Selene Selene, a dreamer’s dream,
The eagles land, the angels preen,
Feather in cap, you claim a future,
I think the mythic birds a vulture,
Our two visions unaligned,
The futures yet to be divined,
Men of science broken, sulked and cursed,
When the dreamers got there first.

I’m not alone, Cyrano’s here,
And brotherless Cain, beyond all fear,
Endymion the romantic,
Like every leering lunatic,
Escapees from the geographic,
To the shores of Tranquillity and Epidemic.

Selene Selene, a dreamer’s dream,
The eagles land, the angels preen,
Feather in cap, you claim a future,
I think the mythic birds a vulture,
Our two visions unaligned,
The futures yet to be divined,
Men of science broken, sulked and cursed,
When the dreamers got there first.

His arm is strong, his step is small,
A giant leap: an epoch falls,
Closed-minded men of science bore,
Upon our perfect rocky shore,
But do not fret now, fear no more,
There’s more than bare rock left here to explore.

Selene Selene, a dreamer’s dream,
The eagles land, the angels preen,
Feather in cap, you claim a future,
I think the mythic birds a vulture,
Our two visions unaligned,
The futures yet to be divined,
Men of science broken, sulked and cursed,
When the dreamers got there first.

Wreckage in canals and streams,
From eleven through to seventeen,
Near stars and abandoned cars,
Hares and toads of the distant past,
Civilisation approaching fast,
I think I’m done… move on to Mars!
