[Verse 1]
Em
Her shopping bag broke sending eggs and flour crashingDown to the ground, just like star clusters smashing
C
But no one will give her a glanceThey just shuffle on home in a trance
Em
The tiniest lives fill their hives up with worryTo make it to church, well, she'll need to hurry
C
When late she will bow down contriteWhile a meteor turns out the light
[Chorus]
Bm And there in an ordinary street G9 A car isn't where it would normally be C The driver in tears 'bout his payment arrears Ab Still, nobody hears whеn a sun disappears G In a galaxy afar
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em
First day of the new job and hе was so nervousThe suit and the platitude, "Can I be of service?"
C
His boss made him clean all the carsWhile he wondered, "Is there life on Mars?"
Em
And meanwhile the stars line themselves up in orderWhile we bicker on with our fences and borders
C
But best not think about thatIt's better to live without facts
[Chorus]
Bm And now in her old wedding bed G9 A lady will dream that her husband is dead C Of course he's alive, he'll be home around five Ab Still, silence arrives, when a nebula dives G Into our Milky Way
(Instrumental)
[Verse 3]
Em
The thunder and rain start, the paving stones meltAnd oddly the first spots make Orion's belt as
C
You queue at the bank for an hour'Cause a solar flare blew out the power
Em
The nurse in the care home now empties a bath tubThe water will spiral, a galaxy's vast hub
C
Is draining away as we speakBut she loses her job there next week
[Chorus]
Bm And there with his first telescope G9 A teenager stands full of hormones and hope C As he squints at the night, like a painting of light Ab He doesn't suppose that a black hole implodes G In a trillion tears from now (Ah)
