the minor planets
the major stars
that they're named after
could all be ours
i've got to know all that they are
got to know all that you are

ivan franko

i'm hurtling through life at a hundred miles an hour
and i'm not sure what i'm taking

i'm falling right through space
40,000 miles an hour
and i don't know where i'm heading at all
