The Green Pajamas

Planet Love

Endless black, the sky abstract is calling you away
To some endless holiday in nothingness
And once again the violet end is soft as the curling smoke
That caressed you as you spoke of nothing less

   Cold and blue I'll fly you to the Planet Love
   Earth is but a whisper of Planet Love
   Once there you'll never ever get enough
   Dreams don't die with dawn on Planet Love

Most pleasant death, you lose your breath to a beauty as yet unseen
No sex or heavenly queen could bring you here
She lies down in her misty gown and drowns in the wooden floor
The moon is at the door and you disappear

   Cold and blue I'll fly you to the Planet Love
   Earth is but a whisper of Planet Love
   Once there you'll never ever get enough
   Dreams don't die with dawn on Planet Love

Your fairy, fair, awaits you here
Her hair like tentacles comes
Now listen as her nervous system hums

How high, how far, the millionth star is floating in a sea of light
The wild and wondrous night is beckoning
Come my friend Never-never Land is waiting at the edge of the sky
And it's the perfect way to die, it's everything

   Cold and blue I'll fly you to the Planet Love
   Earth is but a whisper of Planet Love
   Once there you'll never ever get enough
   Dreams don't die with dawn on Planet Love
