Lyrics

How I tried to catch you while you ran ahead of me
I lassoed Mars to see if you were hiding there
But you'd already ran past Jupiter to Pluto's moon
And my rope won't reach that moon

This is a state of electrical shock
You were so beautiful, I thought you'd last forever
But you came and you went when the lights went out
You went like you came
In a lightning bolt

Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall
It's crushing my skull
Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall of permanence
Permanence
Permanence

Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall
It's crushing my skull
Why did you go like this
I slam against the wall of permanence
Permanence

And like a ghost I am spinning with you
In circles, the dance of Pluto's moon
