Orbit Zero

(album: Time Exposure - 1981)

Once more around, he said, "I think it's time to go down"
Come take a look, she's wearing the dawn like a gown
There's enough here for everyone
A lonely planet 'round a crowded sun
Orbit zero, it's time to go

Approach from the dark side, where the oceans seem calm
Land yourselves gently, we don't want to cause them alarm
When you get to a settlement
Make it plain, why we were sent
Orbit zero, down you go

I feel that something's wrong
There's danger there for everyone
Turn back, oh, can't you guess
That this lady is in distress?

Yes, it seems that something's wrong
Just another crowded planet 'round a lonely sun
Orbit zero, on we go

Order them back at once, it seems there's something to fear
We'll leave them alone, there's nothing that we can do here
We'll return into the night, a vanishing point at the speed of light
Orbit zero, on we go, orbit zero, on we go
Orbit zero

(Orbit zero)
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
Are we ever really gonna find it?
(Orbit zero)
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
Are we ever really gonna find it?

(Orbit zero)
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
Are we ever really gonna find it?
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
(No, no, no, no, no, no)

Are we ever really gonna find it?
(Will we ever find it?)
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
(Are we ever gonna find it?)

Are we ever really gonna find it?
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
(Will we ever, will we ever, will we ever find it?)
Are we ever really gonna find it?
Are we ever, are we ever gonna find it?
