space I took a trip to see the sights I will be blacker than the night One way ticket no returns My shooting star so fast it burnt On the edge that you can see Let's shoot the moon you and me I'm not particular you'll see Just a lonesome galaxy Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us At the speed of light Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us We slip into the night I'll say a mass for you and wave Shooting plasma from my grave Event horizon lost in space Running in a human race I don't know where I don't know why But somehow back in time again I'm on the edge that you can see I'm not particular at night A single particle of me You won't be tracking me by sight Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us At the speed of light Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us We slip into the night Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us At the speed of light Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us At the speed of light Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us At the speed of light Shadows in the stars We will not return Humanity won't save us At the speed of light We slip into the night Retour Partitions Back Song Chords
