Come in close now, it’s time to tell a story.
Long ago and so many years before we,
ever were, ever dreamed we even could be,
There was her and her very first heartbeat.
All alone in the corner of the night sky,
Spiral bones of a supernova starlight,
Fell in love with another burning bright.
She dreamed of a way to ignite.
She said, “Tonight,
Come on, come on, collide,
Break me to pieces, I
I think you’re just like heaven.
Why, come on, come on collide,
Let’s see what a fire feels like,
I bet it’s just like heaven.”
(Just like heaven.)
Such a shame, nowhere near, even a near miss,
Light-years away from the hope of being sun-kissed.
Anchored home in her interstellar sea but,
Poor lonely Cassiopeia.
So she sighs and she burns with desperation,
Learns to cry over love of constellations.
Then the spark from a star shooting too close,
They both smiled, what a day to explode!
She said, “Tonight,
Come on, come on, collide,
Break me to pieces, I
I think you’re just like heaven
Why, come on, come on collide
Let’s see what a fire feels like
I bet it’s just like heaven.”
(Just like heaven.)
Long ago in a sky built before us,
A supernova grew up to be stardust.
