Charon

[Intro] Not around you Around the space between us [Verse 1] Half your width and a twelfth your weight Too big to be called a servant now The centre we turn around is not inside you It hangs in the dark, and we both bow Every six days and nine hours We complete a single turn I show you one face, you show me one And neither of us learns to turn away [Chorus] Two around a point, two around a point Nothing else out here does it this way Not a moon and a master, not a world and a shadow Two things holding the same sway [Verse 2] Mordor Macula caps my northern pole Dark red from the gas you let go Your nitrogen escaping, landing here And freezing into stain and snow A canyon four times longer than the Grand Splits my face from side to side Something froze inside me long ago And cracked me open wide [Bridge] They almost called us a double planet The word was on the table once The vote went the other way, as votes do And we kept turning, unconcerned [Final Chorus] Two around a point, two around a point Nothing else out here does it this way Not a moon and a master, not a world and a shadow Two things holding the same sway [Outro] Not around you Around the space between us
