Words and Music Written by Nosy Mangabe

lyrics

she made her way through the milky way
an interstellar stray
spends her days voyaging through the night

from privileged birth now she's down to earth
the first for whom I'm cursed
with this thirst to make her my last

gravity leaves when she's by me
I bounce up and downtown
like a flea
but suddenly a tractor beam of smiles pulls me in
and with a grin

I go off to a place south of Saturn
where life's more than trite carbon based matter and we're

two bits of dust that with joy caved to lust
after we kissed Jupiter's big spot blushed
off to a land left untouched Earth's beauty seemed so hushed
like the roadways we take to the skies
Mercury and Mars are only red light
black holes not pot holes and no cops at all
none in sight
it's dawn and we arrive

There's toxic fumes and plumes of cyanide
the gas seems cleaner on the other side

oh, my constellation lacked a star
lost in cosmo slums afar
