Song about how our true needs and desires, such as love and spirituality, are frustrated by the banality of societal standards
2001: A Space Odyssey
THE UNIVERSE
Star Baby, floating in space
Wonder glows upon his face
He dreams of love
Mysteries below the ocean
Suns revolve around a blade of grass
But here we're working nine to five
And all we've learned are brand new ways to die
CHORUS
Everybody wants to feel
Everybody likes to say
They're looking for another planet
Hoping to find a way
In the Universe
I spend all my time thinking it over
Can't get my brain around this thing
On life support (we need some support)
And I'll take it any way you give it
Infinity is a bitter pill
No wonder why we're feeling so empty
We live in a world that can't be filled
Everybody wants to feel
Everybody likes to say
They're looking for another planet
Hoping to breathe someday
In the Universe
The Universe, It Hurts
