Planets – Bill Callahan

Well, I spent so long lying on this rock
Staring at the sky so long I forgot how to talk
As night sailed in like a dock

I heard the planets singing
Singing as they spun
Vaguely Hawaiian

Keewah keewah mi lu
Keewah keewah mow lu
Keewah keewah mi lu
Keewah keewah mi nu

And the sun twirled and said, “Goodbye everyone”
And I felt so good just like sudsy chrome
Renewed, you know, for a second season
Let’s leave our things here and roam
