Solar System   Run Time: 3:39

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2000

come in here and have a taste
yeah what's one more hopeless case
when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen
and the stars going cold in your solar system

well her lips were red and her hair was brown
yeah feeling like the luckiest kids in town
she said "i'll follow you boy to the ends of the earth"
said "i'm not going that far for what it's worth"

and i really love to see you like this
the moonlight dripping off your fingertips
off your fingertips

well put all your love where it hurts the most
expect a little visit from the Holy Ghost
but when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen
the stars going cold in your solar system

Did You Know?

Though recorded in an understated and beautiful style for Audible Sigh, "Solar System" was originally played as a big and noisy number in concert. Bill has said that "Solar System" is about two lovers, but he's not sure if it has a happy ending. Bill has called this a "psalm for the road." "Solar System" reached a high point at number 5 on the alternative country chart on mp3.com.

Appeared On…
