thomas dolby – n.e.o. lyrics
n.e.o.
near earth object.
a solid body whose orbit lies within the orbit of mars.
moons asteroids. meteorites.
and human debris.
you can see a meteorite almost any night.
go out to the desert
they are pieces of stars,
you might find a piece.
same as you and me
they have travelled through sp-ce for thousands of years.
perhaps you will get lucky
but you will never find a piece of soyuz
or sputnik or apollo 9
they are still out there
they are very faint
and the pollution in earths atmosphere
washes out their pale light
floating without air, without light
or else – charred on the re-entry
they are still out there floating
within the orbit of mars.
look at it this way:
a river of sp-ce, a ribbon of time
like a burial by a beaurocrat
undercover of a cold war risk.
a cloud of dust-a cloud of rubble
spinning in sp-ce on the heels of the hubble
a parallel, or a temporal rip
in the belly of the cosmos
a fossilized finger
somewhere in a hanger
stored by the government, hidden from the press
some young top gun s first solo
turned out to be a n.e.o.
