The Girl Who Fell From the Sky - Joe Hisaishi

The girl who fell to earth She gets her kicks from science It's hard to see, it's not enough When you're blinded by computer love So tear it down and play it rough You don't mean to mess it up How I wish we could start over You wear your elastic heart on your chewed up sleeve First you cry and then you laugh You're like a circle, cut in half Another night of broken sleep I'll comfort you, I'll warm your dreams But you've still got time, my warrior child When the storm starts it's only on the outside At times we couldn't see the light We only wipe our tears dry I know you're there, I know it's you The girl inside is breaking through The girl who fell to earth

The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel Not for a husband, dictator, tyrant or king Humble homes with mottoes on the walls Symbols and signs in framed designes Sure to keep the poor poor In fear of a God who hadn't saved them after all And all of my friends are in trouble They're sorry, they're sick and they know All of my friends are in trouble There's no need to go into that now The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel Not for a husband, dictator, tyrant or king The sorrow my countenance shows Is hardly worth mentioning now Impartial application of the law In other words legalized torture And all of my friends are in trouble They're sorry, they're sick and they know All of my friends are in trouble But there's no need to go into that now Of princes and kings and their costly parade Blitz them all back to the Stone Age The American way displayed proudly Is to show lots of teeth and talk loudly And the land weeps oil The land weeps oil What do you think all these armies are for? Just because the land weeps oil And the land weeps oil The land weeps oil What do you think all these conflicts are for? It's just because the land weeps oil

A new star is born in the stillness of morning The edge of the universe time is expanding It's endless as love ifinitely small Lights in the darkness, no reason at all Billions of years away half moons are sharing Glasses of wine with asteroids passing A galaxy wakes on the wrong side of space Gravity laughs in reality's face Somewhere there, like dust in the air A sphere is drifting too slowly to bare And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones A parasite's calling this dust its home Another second of another day In this corner of space In this dark, cold universe This world that I'm living in makes no sense to me I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth A baby is born in the stillness of morning Ten minutes past five they declared him alive As tears roll down his mother's cheeks And a midwife breathes a sigh of relief While just down the road the last of the drunks Make their way home to pass out on the bus While the first of the businessmen in shirts and ties Get ready to sell some more of their lies In the newspaper offices lights still on They've been up all night waiting for things to go wrong And nobody saw as the wheels came down A young man silently fall to the ground In the houses they're turning on lights Putting blindfolds over their eyes Getting ready for another day at work This illusion that I'm living in makes no sense to me I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth A body is found in the stillness of morning A priest in the street calls out a warning Somewhere above London an air hostess stands A 747 is coming in to land A farmer has started her work for the day Somehow she knows that something has changed Out in the fields she dreams of her son Back to the day when his journey begun An eagle is searching for food in the spring A sperm whale sleeps while a hummingbird sings A lover is waiting for news by the phone Out in the fields a cold wind blows Cross the world there's flashes of light They've been bombing the city all night In the end, what's it all worth? This simulation that I'm living in makes no sense to me I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth A tear is traveling across some skin Molecules of water in sodium spin Atoms are shaking so infinitely small Just lights in the darkness, no reason at all
