Lost Ship - Juliana Hatfield

Unidentified flying object

Hovering over the Harvard projects

If this were real I would be ready

Waiting out on my balcony

Take me away from here

I’m stuck for good, I fear

I can’t move

I can’t change

It’s too late

I wanna ride on the spaceship in my mind

And transcend emotion

Close the door, kill the lights, lie back

And fly so low across my own private ocean

No tenuous intimacies

I’m weightless, airtight and empty

I just want to be where I want to be

I wanna see what I wanna see

No love, no money, no hate, no jealousy

And now one has any power over me

I get back on solitary plane

I wanna ride on the spaceship in my mind

And transcend emotion

Close the door, kill the lights, lie down

And fly solo across my own private ocean

I wanna ride on the spaceship in my mind

And transcend emotion

Close the door, kill the lights, lie down

And dive into my own private ocean

Oh I’ve been hurt too many times

Too many bad situations

Close the door, kill the lights, lie back and fly
