Lyrics

goodnight venus
it's hard to see you go
one more night comes between us
and my desire grows stronger
for the love i long for
from every beating heart
that's who i sing this song for
we cannot stand apart

goodnight venus
sweet dreams 'til the morning light
don't let the darkness between us
obscure our strong ties
we need your urgent message
of how to love and be loved
we hear you despite our own ruckus
send us the goddess from above

we're on our way up
to the higher mind
wish us good luck
it takes a long long time

while venus is away
mars shines seductively
blood red in the northwestern sky
i hear the war gods cry
go down now mars
and leave us
we’ve bled for too long
we cannot rise to freedom
with your bloody sword drawn

we’re on our way up
to the higher mind
wish us good luck
it takes a long, long time

whirling in the milky way
planet earth strives for her say
while her people congregate
to try to control her fate
we are the fools that think
planet earth is on the brink
just because we can’t stand
the very stink
that we’ve created

i think it’s crazy
it’s separatist to say
'lets heal the earth today!'
like she’s some victim
we’re no more separate
from this earth
than we are from each other
so take each stranger
as a brother and lets rejoin
this mother ship

we’re on our way up
to the higher mind
wish me good luck
i get confused sometimes
i think i know it all
and then i find i’m blind
goodnight venus
goodnight
