Stratosphere

from Many Lines To Tow by Joe Adler

about

...a song not about love, but about pondering other life in the universe...

lyrics

Stratosphere

Sittin’ on my back porch
Don’t know what the future may bring
Stars shining down
Like they do every night x3

And what’s out there
Beyond the stratosphere
Who’s looking down?
From near or afar?

We are not alone x3 Maybe we’re just stoned

So very strange it seems
To think how tiny we are
A speck in the universe
Why must life seem so hard? X3

I’m taking a trip
Up through the stratosphere
Pass the thermosphere
And out the exosphere

We are not alone x3 Maybe we’re just stoned

solo

We are not alone x3 Maybe we’re just stoned

I take a pause
At the mesopause
It’s cold in there
A hundred below X3

Here I think of you
Back on the troposphere
A shimmering mind
And a beautiful heart

We are not alone x3 Maybe we’re just stoned

Sittin’ on my back porch
Don’t know what the future may bring
Stars shining down
Like they do every night
