Sunset falls on another eden
Where children play by the light of day
But here that always seems to be so far away
Candy's sweet when the nights grow long
Or paint your nails bright green
And sing a melancholy song
For no one else to hear

Stand alone in a hall of mirrors
Face yourself in the looking glass
The price you pay for the isolation found
10,000 light years from the ground

Take your basket full of sorrows
Hang em on a branch on your only tree
In space, no one's ever there to hear you cry
Cuz the fox isn't very good company
But good company's always very hard to find
On an asteroid these days

So take a ride on Haley's comet
Just to find some other one to
Share the isolation found
10,000 light years from the ground

Just like James stands on the peach
Hope and glory in his reach
That's just like me
A little prince sits on his stone
Accepts the fact that he's alone
Just like me

Stand alone in a hall of mirrors
Face yourself in the looking glass
The price you pay for the isolation found
10,000 light years from the ground
