Here & Now Lyrics

the buzz of electric lamplight
from down on the sidewalk
you struggle, grasp your night-shirt and turn
but the universe doesn抰 say what you want it to say
the universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says

but on the planet earth, spinning around its axis
revolving around the sun, revolving around the center
of the milky way galaxy in a supercluster of galaxies
will it ever be you and me here and now?

your consoling hands in a gesture
well placed and throbbing
throbbing with the buzz of electric lamplight
from down on the sidewalk
but the universe doesn抰 say what you want it to say
the universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says the buzz of electric lamplight
from down on the sidewalk
you struggle, grasp your night-shirt and turn
but the universe doesn抰 say what you want it to say
the universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says

quanta, mesons, hadrons, photons, neutrons, electrons and protons combining to form
atoms and molecules and compounds and cells, tissues and organs in a system of a being
on the planet earth, spinning around its axis, revolving around the sun, revolving around
the center of the milky way galaxy in a supercluster of galaxies will it ever be you and me here and now?
