[Verse]
Did you ever hear the theory of the universe?
Where every time you make a choice
A brand new planet gets created?
Did you ever hear that theory?
Does it carry any sense?
That a choice can split the world in two
Or is it all just too immense for you?
That they all exist in parallel
Each one separate from the other
And every subsequent decision
Makes a new world then another
And they all stretch out towards infinity
Getting further and further away
Now, were a man to reconsider his position
And try to spin the world back to its original state?
It's not a scientific proposition
And relatively speaking, you're late
It's not the same moon in the sky
And these are different stars
And these are different constellations
From the ones that you've described
Different rules of navigation
Strange coordinates and lines
A completely different zodiac
Of unfamiliar signs
It's not the same moon in the sky
And those planets are misleading
I wouldn't even try to take a bearing or a reading
Just accept that things are different
You've no choice but to comply
When smarter men have failed to see
The logic as to why
[Outro]
It's not the same moon
It's not the same moon
In the sky
