These scales always tipping, this mind always spinning... Oh slow me down, slow me down; insane, yet I am sound. Momma never knew how deep it could get when she placed her son right near the sun; the kids used to call me a rocketship. "Apollo 13! Apollo 13!" Now I'm beginning to figure out what all of this means. I'm light years away suspended in space, wondering if they'll ever come and meet with me. Oh, but it's much more than that. With this lyre attached to my back and music in my heart, I give you songs of poetry straight from the stars of Libra. Can you see the constellation? This October soul gets in touch through the element but I'm no prince of the air; learning to use discernment with these gifts I've been given, I am very much aware. Nobody can tell me who I am, only experience can wake me up to searching... That's why I have gone beyond the sky a long time ago and haven't come down yet. Way over their heads I am floating...

Mind on the moon
These scales always tipping, this mind always spinning... Oh slow me down, slow me down; insane, yet I am sound. Momma never knew how deep it could get when she placed her son right near the sun; the kids used to call me a rocketship. "Apollo 13! Apollo 13!" Now I'm beginning to figure out what all of this means. I'm light years away suspended in space, wondering if they'll ever come and meet with me. Oh, but it's much more than that.
