lyrics

They've counted countless constellations
Piles of planets, stacks of stars
But out of all these big formations
There's only one that breaks your heart

Who is the lackey on the grey horse
Who is that squire in dull attire

Poring over drawings maps and charts
Do you know where to start

There have been scores of overseers
But they could only see your worst

Who is the lackey on the grey horse
Who is that squire in dull attire
Who is this current urban servant

You've thought it over, perhaps you think too much
You can tailor all you touch

Who is the lackey on the grey horse
Who is that squire in dull attire
Who is this current urban servant
You are a space age page

Hey, space age page
