Verse 1 Space ain’t clean, man, who sold that lie Billions of stars blowin’ up in the sky Dust in the void, yeah it drifts for years But they laughed at me, said “nothing out here” Pre-Chorus But I know what I know, and I see what I see dark particles invisible debris Everywhere you look, every cosmic mile The universe is dirty — been that way a while Chorus (Variation A) Dirt in the darkness, dust in the deep Filaments stretch where the galaxies sleep Chaos in the void where the cold winds creep Dirt in the darkness, dust in the deep Verse 2 Meteor grit hittin’ Earth all day Hundred thousand pounds just burnin’ away If the dirt’s down here, then it’s out up there It don’t stop at the edge of the solar air Pre-Chorus 2 They said “space is sterile,” I said “bro, no way” You ever seen a star explode? That ain’t tidy spray Chaos leaves a footprint, entropy leaves a stain The universe is messy — and I ride that wave Chorus (Variation B) Dirt in the darkness, dust in the deep You call it empty, but you just can’t see The universe is filthy and it drifts like me Dirt in the darkness, dust in the deep Final Chorus (Variation C) Dirt in the darkness, dust in the deep Billions of stars blow their ashes wide Dirt from the heavens on a cosmic ride Dirt in the darkness, dust in the deep
