Uranus

[Intro] Something hit me long ago I never stood back up [Verse 1] Ninety-eight degrees from upright I don't spin, I roll Whatever struck me in the early days Knocked the axis from my pole Forty-two years of summer on one side Forty-two years of night A season longer than your longest life And nothing in between but light [Chorus] Knocked over, still turning Cold as anything has been Minus two twenty-four and holding The coldest air that's ever been [Verse 2] Herschel found me in seventeen eighty-one The first new planet ever seen Before me, the sky was finished business After me, the sky was green Methane paints me that pale colour Rings so faint they hid for years Twenty-seven moons named for the plays Miranda, Ariel, Oberon, and Lear's [Bridge] Voyager Two came by in eighty-six Six hours of looking, then gone Nobody has come back since And I keep rolling on [Final Chorus] Knocked over, still turning Cold as anything has been Minus two twenty-four and holding The strangest way a world has ever been [Outro] Something hit me long ago I never stood back up I never stopped
