about

Recorded at Shawbox Studio in Philadelphia PA

lyrics

You could fit a million planets into one gigantic burning yellow Sun
And you could travel its diameter by bouncing off the planets one-by-one
But you could see a million Suns before you found the one that sang the perfect song
And so this planet can't imagine how it ever managed back when it was young

Let the world around you worry over all the warheads tonight
There will come a day when all the stars you see will burn out
You and I will be ancient history but darling can't you see
You are my home sweet home

Home sweet home

And if the world could get along just long enough then we could

We could build a tower up into the outer reaches of our atmosphere
Then climb with no resistance narrowing the distance each and every solar year
And it could take a few millennia before we landed on a burning sphere
But wouldn't it be worth the effort if it meant that you and I could disappear

Let the world around you worry over all the warheads tonight
There will come a day when all the stars you see will burn out
You and I will be ancient history but darling can't you see
You are my home sweet home

Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

[whistle solo]
