lyrics

The story of time, slowly revealing
I thought that I had got used to this feeling
Of being alone in the cold, cold night
With the inky darkness and the pin-point light

I scan the air around a planet by a faraway star
From a million years ago
For any sign of action
But I’m not getting any so..

This is the life, this is the life
Gonna samba down to Rio, find myself a wife

I know you’re important, I don’t mean to offend
But when I want to feel lighter, I try to pretend
That all of the starlight that fills up the sky
Amounts to a twinkle in an alien’s eye

This is the life, this is the life
Gonna salsa round Havana, looking for my wife

Radio waves travelled for 13 billion years
Past our ancestors by because they couldn’t read them
But they didn’t mind because they didn’t need them
We see galaxies die, long after they’re gone
And galaxy births that are still going on
And they are beautiful
They’re beautiful when we add the colour

A fiery, burning giant sun
Living fast and dying young
We can’t wait for it to go supernova
We can’t wait to have our fun

This is the life, this is the life
Gonna learn to do the tango with my lovely wife
Gonna dance the tarantella with my lovely wife
