The Event Horizon - Omega Medley
[singer A] Tuesday's generosity painted sidewalks gold Cappuccino steam dissolving into April air My reflection caught between storefront windows Until vertigo whispered from sixty stories above Something magnetic in the architecture Calling my bones toward the stratosphere Fear of falling up consumes my certainty When gravity becomes my enemy The sky pulls harder than the earth below And I'm losing this war with physics [transition] [singer B] I can hear my heartbeat The only rhythm out here Light years from anything That ever held me near In the quiet In the endless quiet I am the only heartbeat For light years in every direction All I need right now Is a voice besides my own To tell me that I'm here To tell me I'm not gone All I need right now Is a voice besides my own Getting through today Light years from home [transition] [singer A] Then stillness Perfect, terrifying stillness Fence posts pirouette past my left shoulder Windows still framing their domestic secrets Pencils conduct silent symphonies Ladies in summer dresses waltz with the cosmos Cows contemplate infinity beside Dogs and cats and quail in frozen flight Cars and keys and pennies—all of us Learning the koreography of weightlessness [transition] [singer B] Ground control, can you hear me? Is anyone receiving? This is Major Tom to anyone This is anyone to God There's no loneliness like this No isolation quite so pure When every star you're seeing Died a million years before All I need right now Is a voice besides my own To tell me that I'm here To tell me I'm not gone
