about

recorded January 2017 at Triple J HQ

lyrics

She used to watch the planes
She found it rather strange
They could stay up in the sky
Though they were heavier than rain
They were held up by some kind of magic

She knew that she was stuck
But she wanted to go up
To live beyond space and time no rocket is enough
So she studied dusty maps
Thought to herself “Perhaps
If I could bring space down to me
I’d see it while I’m trapped”

So she travelled all her life
Saw countries far and wide
Learned spells in seven languages
And knew the math besides
But when she came back home
Nobody she’d known
Recognized the woman as
The girl from down the road

And then when she took the stage
Something rather strange
She could make the light and sound behave
In new and curious ways
The crowd was frozen scared
Mouths wide open stared
The sky was cracking, bleeding light
And yet nobody cared
