Spotlight Shadow

By Indi Riverflow | October 22, 2014

When the highway hum is overrun
And centuries handiwork undone
Drowned out by giant dragonflies
When the end of days draws nigh
And velvet darkness envelops the sky
Let’s launch some fireworks before we die
While the grinning moon smiles wide
Look at you looking on the bright side

{Chorus}
Under a spotlight
You know there’s some shadows
Make it too bright
You’ll blow off my halo
Say, my tale’s airtight
Just killing time at Calypso’s

When deck chairs are heaped in a pile
And the nearest land’s ten thousand miles
The journey’s taken a turn for the worse
And we’ve reached the outskirts of the universe
Somewhere out there the cyclone subsides
On castaways stranded without a guide
As broken violins roll in on the tide
Oh look at you looking on the bright side

{Chorus}

When all the alarms are on full blast
Fresh air scarce and vacuum vast
Tractor beams stream from the past
Molding today in yesterday’s cast
Molecules multiply as atoms divide
Oceans flood as deserts are dried
Transparency has nowhere to hide
But look at you looking on the bright side
