Saturn Returns
Long ago I tasted something sweet
It's an echo, it's a memory, in retreat
Like a feeling of fullness
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude, of ancient heroes
It was something I trusted somehow, but now
But now it's gone and I am incomplete
In the darkness, and the hollow, in the heat
If I flash on the future
I see only the empty future-shock, an afterimage
There is only I want, I want, I want
I don't know what I hunger for
I don't know why I feel the hunger
More and more with every passing day
I don't know from where the hunger springs
But that it's fair and that it sings
Of someplace far away
So get me up and get me out
And let me never return
To the darkness and the hollow and to the burn
I want out of this hunger
Take me up to a higher altitude
Take me all the way
I'm out of here, I am going there
I'm gone
Ohhh, get me up like Icarus
And give me wings like Pegasus
Just get me out and get me high
It's an echo, it's a memory, in retreat
Like a feeling of fullness
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude, of ancient heroes
It was something I trusted somehow, but now
But now it's gone and I am incomplete
In the darkness, and the hollow, in the heat
If I flash on the future
I see only the empty future-shock, an afterimage
There is only I want, I want, I want
I don't know what I hunger for
I don't know why I feel the hunger
More and more with every passing day
I don't know from where the hunger springs
But that it's fair and that it sings
Of someplace far away
So get me up and get me out
And let me never return
To the darkness and the hollow and to the burn
I want out of this hunger
Take me up to a higher altitude
Take me all the way
I'm out of here, I am going there
I'm gone
Ohhh, get me up like Icarus
And give me wings like Pegasus
Just get me out and get me high
