Panda Eyes - Sing-Sing

When you wake up with your panda eyes

You rise and greet the stars

Every effort is required now

To focus in on Mars

Is it only a weekday?

How did I travel home?

Did I get there with my friends?

Or did I make it through the cosmos alone?

When you wake up with your panda eyes

And you’re full of soft marshmallow

Try to mobilise until you find

Your head’s stuck to the pillow

And you try to remember

But your mind is a mess

Staring out to Venus

You don’t want to go to work any less

And sunlight is so unnerving

When you’re observing the stars

The moon spins and a full day beckons

But you stay right where you are

And you feel ashamed for the first time (a-ha)

What were you saying all of last night (a-ha)

You say it again, that’s the last time (a-ha)

In the space ship with your panda eyes

See, you’ve aged a million years

The night before is returning fast

To solidify your fears

Even though there is silence

Your ears make a sound

Your new years resolution

Is to try and keep your feet on the ground

The earth calls but you don’t answer

You just don’t feel like it yet

The one thing you feel like doing

Is returning back to your bed

And sunlight is so unnerving

As you watch home disappear

The world turns as you draw closer

Only now does it all become clear

Panda eyes

Panda eyes
