Me and my vessel know I'm old and it's time to go
Me and my vessel know I'm old and it's time to go
'Cause I was just passing through as people tend to do
And my body's aglow and if you don't know it's a cobalt 60 blue
Freedom and a bird once told me
"Down on the wing is a silly thing"
And I don't know why I'm not in the sky
I'm a kite held by a string
Dying can happen slow if you only will it so
Dying can happen slow if you only will it so
But I was just passing through as people tend to do
And my body's aglow and if you don't know it's a cobalt 60 blue
Nevermind the dark of night
And just ignore the light of day
It's okay, you'll be fine as the stars combine
And you wash your mind in gamma rays
I'm afraid!
I'm afraid!
Grains of the skies in mine eyes
Milky white and clean
As the clouds crystallize
Stratus crystalline
Quiet falling design
Muted cascade
Ivory ash crystalline
Faintly falling fade
The seconds swing to and fro and the world is under snow
But a tower can only grow to a high place from below
And dying can happen slow if you only will it so
But me and my vessel know I'm old and it's time to go
I'm old and it's time to go
