Starlight in your eyes pale as the moon in sky
on a canvas like the blackness of the night
Skyline glowing blue lies a falling star for you
as the twilight leaves a trail of dust leading you away
When the dark has come and your memories succumb
You're awakened from the folly of your dream
Don't you be afraid as the shadows masquerade
for the things that you imagined are never what they seem
Looking through a telescope you saw a place
where you found a love you knew you could embrace
and a gentle tug of earth pulls you away
as you always were you'll be one day
How long has it been since the clocks began to spin
was it crafted by the hands of god or man?
Still we can't ignore what the future has in store
every action has a consequence since your life began
Imagine that your dreams are coming true
and the lights that dot the sky are part of you
though I know the things you seek may seem so far
still you keep on reaching for that star
Looking through a telescope you saw a world
where you found the love that you were looking for
You were passing through the passages of time
dreaming but a a dream forevermore
And if you should pass away before you wake
cast out to the sky the wish you make
Imagine if you will that the earth was standing still
and love you had was with you from the start
It's only as far as the nearest little star
twinkles deep inside your lonely heart

In black and white all the sci-fi B movies defy the analog gravity
they're broadcasting deep to outer space to all the alien families
So here comes a UFO arriving right in your driveway
it's time for you to come and see the universe
with an engine that runs on the airwaves
Reverberating off the CMBR the melodies of the cosmos
tune in and you'll find your favorite song, sit back and just let the ride coast
So we'll ride your UFO come on and show me your home world
and crank the volume on your ET radio
Golden Oldies pick up martian home-girls
Galactical phenomenon
The rhythm pulls us further on

Japanese transliteration by Shiro
君の瞳に映る星光 夜空描くキャンバスの様
星屑が道を象った 地平線遠く彼方まで
暗闇が襲う日もあるさ 眠れぬ夜 思考のパレード
何も恐れなくていいんだ
君自身を信じ続けるんだ
望遠鏡で見渡す世界
探し続け見つけた愛
僕であり続けていたい
重力に逆らい
どれほどの時が経つんだろう
時計が回りはじめて
明日何が起こるかなんて
分からないから 今言ってしまおう
夢が叶う想像して
果てしなく感じるけど
選べたらどっちにする？
一番星手にして
望遠鏡で見渡す世界
探し続け見つけた愛
時越えてめぐり逢う
夢で夢を見ているような
目覚めてしまう瞬間まで
このままでいさせて
2人包む惑星が廻る
遠いものは近いと知る
心の奥に宿る光
未来の道しるべに

昔のSF映画の放送が飛ばした
アンテナの電波に乗って星へのメッセージさ
銀河行きUFO 君の前に着いた
空っぽな空から現れ
君を迎えに来たんだ
宇宙の隙間に響くいつか聞いたメロディ
ブラックホールに消えている光はストロボ
銀河行きUFO 目の前に止まった
宇宙のリズムを持って
君の心に入れた
リズムに乗って
夢中になって

Starlight in your eyes, pale as the moon in the sky
on the canvas of the falling edge of day
Skyline's glowing blue, lies a falling star for you
as the twilight leaves a trail of dust leading you away
When the dark has come and your memories succumb
on a sleepless night your mind begins to fade
Don't you be afraid as the shadows masquerade
it's refracted through a pane of glass, dancing in the shade
Looking through a telescope you saw a world
where you found the love that you were looking for
when a gentle tug of earth pulls you away
as you always were you'll be one day
How long has it been since the clocks began to spin?
Was it crafted by the gods or hands of man?
Why can't we ignore what the future has in store?
It's our very own aphelion since our life began
Imagine that the stars belong to you
you'd connect the dots to make a wish come true.
Yould you leave them hanging up for all to see?
Or pull them down and steal a wish for free?
Looking through a telescope you saw a world
where you found the love that you were looking for.
You were passing through the passages of time
and the broken dreams were mended too.
And if you should pass away before you wake,
one last little dream is yours to make
Imagine if you will that the earth were standing still
and the wish you had was in your line of sight.
Though you may not see, it is there for you and me
just beyond the veil of starlight.
