Alpha Centauri Lyrics by Color Theory

Like Clockwork: The 2001 Demos

0

The sun fell down an hour ago

But I still hike these foot worn hills

The letters above spell Hollywood

Welcome to my great escape

The sun fell down an hour ago

But I still walk these foot torn hills

The letters above spell Hollywood

And though the irony's lost on me

The stars don't shine much here

Through the blanket of smog

Still there's more than I can count

And it makes me feel so small

To be so far away from them

Because no matter what I do

I can never touch these stars

I can never touch these stars

I can never touch these stars

I scan the sky for Alpha Centauri

The closest star to ours

Whose light travels five years to get here

For all I know it may have died out by now

But I see it with my own eyes

A memory of what it used to be

And so I remember you

As you were when you were most alive

You shine on me from heaven

As real as these stars above

That I can never touch again

I can never touch again

I can never touch again

Never touch these stars

Never touch these stars

Again
