lyrics

In the northern sky
Studying auroras
Differentials in the shifting surface layers
The abiding law
Of summer thaws
And losing our direction

Our common lack,
We have a radio transmitter
And I note you are haywire
Bearing up on the shelf
Our common wealth

This is strange terrain;
A plain white topograph
I move out with my all sky camera
To immerse myself
In the wealth of words
That will not translate

These units express
Elements of culture
I must limit my horizons
To survive
And these glyphs and graphs
The power tools
To cut through
Like a scythe

Our common lack...

Now which way?

Now which way
