Life on a Distant Planet lyrics
Judith
Judith, can you hear me
Can you see me
Life on a distant planet
Another atmosphere
Life on a distant planet
So go inside of here
You can see her but she can't see you
You can call her name but she won't
In the morning all through the day
To the evening, D-day and beyond
Lost on a silent planet
Two lone, rising stars
Lost on a silent planet
So close and yet so far
Children scream and shout, their eyes tore out
Judith turns around and stumbles to the ground
Through the morning, all through the day
To the evening time, D-day and beyond
Heard you call out
Can you come out to play
Have you nothing to say
Can you come out to play
Have you nothing to say
In the morning all through the day time
To the evening, D-day and beyond
