Going Away Lyrics

I'm not here

I'm high above the atmosphere

Time goes on

I'll need someone to carry it on

And when I'm gone

I need you to check my answering machine

And when I go

And when I go away

The movement of Earth round its axis shakes me to the core

I hope they're waiting and yearning for my return

And when you check and there's nothing found

You feel as if you're in the ground

And when you speak your name to the crowd

They weren't listening, they've turned around

I'm alright

I'm looking down at the lights

I declare

My story is in there somewhere

And when I'm gone

Nothing can be heard on the answering machine

And when I make it out

The world won't lift its head

My business is operating on a slow decline

I put in all that I can into it while I must make ends meet

I have been operating

I have been looking for someone to care

But they aren't lurking and yearning for my return at all

I need some sleep

I need some sleep

And the movement of Earth round its axis shakes me to the core

No one is waiting and yearning for my return

And when I check and there's nothing found

I feel that I'm now stuck in the ground

And when my ship falls out of the sky

There's no point in letting anyone know
