The Earth Looks Right

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] The launch room smells of coffee and rain You check the seal, then check it again A paper moon is taped above the door Your sister waves from the second floor [Pre-Chorus] The countdown rolls beneath your feet A measured voice, a pulse of heat [Chorus] Go, little capsule, carry him through Past the blue edge, out of the view He sends one last note, calm and bright: “I’m doing fine; the Earth looks right.” [Verse 2] The radio crackles, the cabin turns A tiny green lamp steadily burns You tell the ground that the numbers behave Then watch the coast fold into a wave [Pre-Chorus] The signal thins, the minutes stretch A quiet hand against the switch [Chorus] Go, little capsule, carry him through Past the blue edge, out of the view He sends one last note, calm and bright: “I’m doing fine; the Earth looks right.” [Bridge] He finds a rhythm in the engine’s hum Counts every breath as the miles unwind Below, the sea keeps its silver calm Above, the dark opens wide and kind [Final Chorus] Go, little capsule, carry him through Past the blue edge, out of the view He sends one last note, calm and bright: “I’m doing fine; the Earth looks right.” [Outro] The room goes still; the coffee cools A small blue world keeps turning on
