I’ve seen it all before
Rolling through the night sky
All your tiny wars
All your fallen empires
My cold light
Nocturnal kite
A beacon for the Lunatics,
Wayward Ships and Romantics
I’ve watched you from a far
Build mirror balls and Berlin walls
Stacked your silver stairs
Scraping at the sky
You built revolving doors
And factory floors
Parlour games and politics
All these clever magic tricks
I’ve been here so long
I’ll be here when you are gone
All your sad songs race
Breathless to the edge of space
You fought yourselves in chase
Raced to me on sparks and flame
A boot upon my face
A stab to make your claim
Then a hero
Returns aglow
Go home and say you own me
But nobody can own me
