[Verse 1]
Keep your love songs
We've all heard
Keep your pictures
We've all seen
Keep your kind words
And keep your tears
I'm only here
For a thousand years
Here on this prison moon

[Chorus]
Have you been here?
Have you ever been here?
If only the sun would shine tonight
If only the sun would shine

[Verse 2]
I vote for pleasure
I vote for sleep
I vote for power
That I can keep
I vote for words
That no one hears
I'm only here
For a thousand years
Here on this prison moon

[Chorus]
Have you been here?
Have you ever been here?
If only the sun would shine tonight
If only the sun would shine
