He raised his first digit To blot out the opposable world Oh, how a spinning ball of blue Can make you feel so small So why return? They’re not ready there They’re not ready for you yet Packed like sardines and spinning free Packed like sardines and spinning free Heroic archetypes reign in the above An empty moon, a dancing dove Explorer of the unadorned Seduced by revelations Away from duty Away from wife Away from country Away from strife Hanging in the skies are Famous stars with their own spotlights Celestial buddhas in unending caves Connect the dots within their circles But the petty ball of blue beckons you With broken and fragile chaos A siren of the busy blind Asking you to wear a watch And follow leaders who Should be following you Rather stay in the tin can and be Packed like sardines, spinning free Packed like sardine, spinning free

He raised his first digit To blot out the opposable world Oh, how a spinning ball of blue Can make you feel so small So why return? They’re not ready there They’re not ready for you yet Packed like sardines and spinning free Packed like sardines and spinning free Heroic archetypes reign in the above An empty moon, a dancing dove Explorer of the unadorned Seduced by revelations Away from duty Away from wife Away from country Away from strife Hanging in the skies are Famous stars with their own spotlights Celestial buddhas in unending caves Connect the dots within their circles But the petty ball of blue beckons you With broken and fragile chaos A siren of the busy blind Asking you to wear a watch And follow leaders who Should be following you Rather stay in the tin can and be Packed like sardines, spinning free Packed like sardine, spinning free
