lyrics
Pluto puffs out his chest
takes a deep breath and says
Eris it would be nice
if we could have some time alone
but i know what it's like i've got moons of my own
and they circle me so close
as though they'll sneak beneath the skin
still i can't tell if they're drawn to me
or if i'm pulling them in
oh Solar stupid System
stupid Rule of Gravity
can't they all just turn the other way
and you be drawn to me?
when the sky wraps us tight
in a blanket of light
that renders us lovers
until the truth nestles in
in the dead of the night
and steals all the covers
but before i loose my nerve
as he creeps up beside you
before he crawls in
and curls up inside you
and i finally fall to bits
giz a kiss Eris
thirty-nine times
as far from the sun as Earth
and only two-thousandths of the size
Pluto must rely on his mind
being only one thousand
four hundred miles wide
so he tells her a joke he heard
about Mother Earth
and all her living cells
that are making their own craters
and spying on themselves
until they're rolling round the sky
but careful not to make a sound
cause if she hears them laugh
she'll cry and if she cries
she drowns
oh foolish clown thinks Pluto
looking down on his own empty ground
she must have quite a weight to carry round
and the sky wraps them tight
in a blanket of light
that renders them lovers
until the truth nestles in
in the dead of the night
and steals all the covers
and he raises his eyes
with that feeling of sinking
of what on Mother fucking
Earth was he thinking?
of finally falling to bits
and it's only a kiss
Eris
but Eris the gracious
and misleadingly friendly
smiles with warmth and says
firmly but tenderly
Pluto please go and get some sleep
i've got to be up early in the morning
and your tambourine just can't keep the time
so if in the dark someone steals my heart
however hard your shaking
your tambourine just won't keep its beat
from racing
plus the over-thinking
over-complicating
Pluto has a habit of exaggerating
of making
white holes of mole hills
so it's sort of funny and it sort of isn't
how he can't make plans
or simple decisions those
white holes of mole hills
and the harder he tries
the harder he finds it to stop
and the harder it gets
the harder it gets
to watch
but Pluto un-ruffles his feathers
pulls himself together and says
oh Eris it would be nice
if we could have some time alone
but i know what it's like
i've got moons of my own
and not for the length of your legs
or because you
mean more to me now
than the heavens above do
but because i love you
to bits
giz a kiss Eris
takes a deep breath and says
Eris it would be nice
if we could have some time alone
but i know what it's like i've got moons of my own
and they circle me so close
as though they'll sneak beneath the skin

or if i'm pulling them in
