Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds,blue reflections mute and dimbeckon tearful child of wonderto repentance of the sin

And the blind and lusty loversof the great eternal liego on believing nothingsince something has to die

And the ape’s curiositymoney power wins,and the yellow soft mountains move under him

I’m with you L.E.M.though it’s a shame that it had to be you

The mother ship is just a blipfrom your trip made for two

I’m with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care

It’s on my mind I’m left behindwhen I should have been there

Walking with you

And the limp face hungry viewersfight to fasten with their eyeslike the man hung from the trapezewhose fall will satisfy

And congratulate each otheron their rare and wondrous deed

That their begrudged money boughtto sow the monkey’s seed

And the yellow soft mountainsthey grow very stillwitness as intrusion the humanoid thrill

I’m with you L.E.M.though it’s a shame that it had to be you

The mother ship is just a blipfrom my trip made for two

I’m with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care

It’s on my mind I’m left behindwhen I should have been there

Walking with you

with you

with you
