"Venus Stopped The Train" lyrics

Venus stopped the train
For the brakeman lost his way
And the satellites were spinning in outer space
They televised her feelings
While the light struck terror

I kept my distance
Because she fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass
Taking Christmas trees
She fell in love with me
I was polite to her
A soft sadness had her much more than her loneliness

My father warmed the benches
Was vice president of southern branches
He reached out to me when my mother slept
He would never forget the light
The light, the light striking terror

I kept my distance
Because she fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass
And taking Christmas trees
She fell in love with me
I was polite to her
A soft sadness had her much more than her ugliness

Satellites spinning
Satellites spin
Yeah, the light, yeah, the light
Yeah, the light, yeah, the light
Yeah, the light
The light striking terror

I keep my distance
Because she fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass
And taking Christmas trees
And she fell in love with me
I was polite to her
Reached my soft hand out to her
I loved her for a very, very long time
