The Photo
Electric eye
Takes a photograph
And holds it against the world
Say so long
To the asteroid
Speeding past the Earth
Hear the empty din of space
She disappeared without a trace
From the photo
Satellite
Scene from a mountaintop
Shines against the sun
Mechanical arms
Wrapped around yourself
Now tell yourself you're warm
May the solar winds lead home
May your memory stake the ghost
In the photo
Rearrange the parallels
So you don't trip upon yourself
The operation was a complete success
Realign the telescope
A fraction off the envelope
Your calculations
They were incorrect
Whisper thoughts
Into a telegram
And send it off morse code
Transmission cut
From a Polaroid
And pasted on your hull
If the image was not real
Then why did you attempt to steal
Back the photo
Back the photo
Back the photo
Takes a photograph
And holds it against the world
Say so long
To the asteroid
Speeding past the Earth
Hear the empty din of space
She disappeared without a trace
From the photo
Satellite
Scene from a mountaintop
Shines against the sun
Mechanical arms
Wrapped around yourself
Now tell yourself you're warm
May the solar winds lead home
May your memory stake the ghost
In the photo
Rearrange the parallels
So you don't trip upon yourself
The operation was a complete success
Realign the telescope
A fraction off the envelope
Your calculations
They were incorrect
Whisper thoughts
Into a telegram
And send it off morse code
Transmission cut
From a Polaroid
And pasted on your hull
If the image was not real
Then why did you attempt to steal
Back the photo
Back the photo
Back the photo
