| I can see the curtain | |
| The ending | |
| Knew it was on its way | |
| I just didn't want it to be today | |
| Watch the cityscape | |
| Drift from day to dusk to dark | |
| Blurrily indistinct the sooty cape | |
| Slowly slips across its jagged shape | |
| Lights signaling | |
| Some winking on | |
| Then blinking off | |
| Lights signaling | |
| Some winking on | |
| Red and red and white | |
| I can see | |
| Piss over battersea | |
| Floating in flight | |
| On quiet nights I can hear the stars | |
| And cosmonauts talk | |
| A ragged 30-watt moon | |
| Hangs over my hotel room | |
| I saw you nodding out in | |
| The mouth of the night | |
| Face full of white light grace | |
| And I push your body out into space | |
| Let it go | |
| Watch it drift away | |
| Going on to beggar and bitter things | |
| Just a fly with little plucked off wings | |
| Going on to beggar and bitter things | |
| Never fly | |
| Never earn your wings | |
| And when the stars are all burned out | |
| Don't try and tell me what it's all about |
