The train was leaving in ten minutes or so
Struggling with the suitcases, I did not see you go
My heart stopped beating and I felt my blood run cold
"Hold still", I told you but you moved
Now you're gone, I can't find you growing
Yeah, we are growing but why bother?
When you can hover
Oh
On your knees and behold the might of the master
Eyes explode at the very sight of the master
We're cosmic dust but you're everything to me
Like a single parent at the fair
And you're spinning above me
Spinning
You're moving fast but you're going nowhere
Yeah, baby that's the way
Oh
On your knees and behold the might of the master
Eyes explode at the very sight of the master
Kittens are cute but a full-grown cat can be cuter
And I'm alive but I plan to die in the future
Hold still, hold still, hold still
We're cosmic dust but you're everything to me
For about ten minutes I thought Id lost my son at St Pancras Station. Of all the places to lose a kid an international train station is probably the worst you could pick. Immediately you imagine that they're being put on a train to some weird place on the continent. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life.
