LYRICS:

6. Hollow Stone
(Escape of the Space Pirates)
Words and Music by Steve Hillage

Hollow stone
Early morning you slip out the window
And glide through the dew
All alone
Back a thousand years

And you know there is no answer
They can give you, they can give you
For the words are not there for them to choose

After all
You are only a molecule drifting
An atom afloat
As you fall
Into space from your lonely shell of fear

You raise your hands and gaze in wonder
At a word you have seen somewhere before

Only you can see the men of wisdom
Moving slowly on together
Sun shines through the stone but once a year
Ceremony now will start anew

And so you sit beneath the linden tree
Staring ghostly at the altar
And all the problems that perplex you so
Dissolve and vanish deep into the water

No use asking what you are
Or what you'll be a millisecond after

As you plunge back into laughter now
Dancing and calling out your name

And still you sit beneath the linden tree
Staring ghostly at the altar
And all the problems that perplex you so
Dissolve and vanish deep into the water
