It's been a long time coming   It's not up for debate   You've been a hollowed-out apple   Though you're standing up straight   It's later than you think   And we're not gonna wait   If you continue to tell us if you continue to tell us   The Universe is going to catch you      Well it was fine until you fell off   Of the face of the Earth   'Cause we would call you at home   And no one picked up the phone   But we were worried that you'd fallen   In the river, or worse   But then you sent us back a letter it said in capital letters   The Universe is going to catch you      Come back inside   To this house   To your home   Made of steel-structured styrofoam   Nobody's out there   But someone is singing you back to your birthplace   That voice is the same voice   You heard on the same night that   Everything glowed   Took you into the air   And the arms of the Universe   Kept you from falling   But after that happened   Those arms did not come back   So when you leapt up   And nobody caught you   Your neck broke
