Here & Now

The buzz of electric lamplight
From down on the sidewalk
You struggle, grasp your night-shirt and turn
But the universe doesn't say what you want it to say
The universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says

But on the planet earth, spinning around its axis
Revolving around the sun, revolving around the center
Of the milky way galaxy in a supercluster of galaxies
Will it ever be you and me

Here and now
Here and now
Here and now
Here and now

Your consoling hands in a gesture
Well placed and throbbing
Throbbing with the buzz of electric lamplight
From down on the sidewalk
But the universe doesn't say what you want it to say
The universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says

But on the planet earth, spinning around its axis
Revolving around the sun, revolving around the center
Of the milky way galaxy in a supercluster of galaxies
Will it ever be you and me

Here and now
Here and now
Here and now
Here and now
(Here we go)

The buzz of electric lamplight
From down on the sidewalk
You struggle, grasp your night-shirt and turn
But the universe doesn't say what you want it to say
The universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says

Quanta, mesons, hadrons, photons, neutrons
Electrons and protons combining to form
Atoms and molecules and compounds and cells
Tissues and organs in a system of a being

On the planet earth, spinning around its axis
Revolving around the sun, revolving around the center
Of the milky way galaxy in a supercluster of galaxies
Will it ever be you and me here and now?

Here and now
Here and now
Here and now
Here and now
