[Verse 1] I saw the tablets float Past the rusted moon Like tiny stained glass sails In a vacuum room They slipped the orbit line Where the cold ones stand And every color peeled Like skin from my hand [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, they turned to dust and fire Ooh, they climbed the edge of night Past the rings of Saturn Past the last of light [Chorus] Beyond the helios Beyond the helios My mind came back in pieces My name came back in pieces Beyond the helios Beyond the helios I heard the stars go hollow I heard the stars go hollow [Verse 2] A silver laughing face In the weather glass Said your old blue room Will never hold it fast My teeth were made of bells My tongue of smoke I tried to call you once But the call just broke [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, they turned to dust and fire Ooh, they climbed the edge of night Past the rings of Saturn Past the last of light [Chorus] Beyond the helios Beyond the helios My mind came back in pieces My name came back in pieces Beyond the helios Beyond the helios I heard the stars go hollow I heard the stars go hollow [Bridge] And there, where the black is deep I saw the garden bone Every sacred dream we keep Drifting past the stone No heaven, just the drift No end, just the seam The universe unbuttoned slow And swallowed my dream [Final Chorus] Beyond the helios Beyond the helios My mind came back in pieces My name came back in pieces Beyond the helios Beyond the helios I heard the stars go hollow I heard the stars go hollow Beyond the helios Beyond the helios I came home like a ghost ship I came home like a ghost ship
