Stereolab - blips drips and strips lyrics

I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful

trusting my deepest instinct

I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful

trusting my deepest instinct

but I go on,

dawning light,

task of hope

???

dawning light,

task of hope

???

at last dare to raise my eyes,

I saw the ship in the stars

strong of glittering fleet,

bringing light to the new born

I pick up by the handful

the somber heap at my feet

eyes closed to see the hopeful

trusting my deepest instinct

at last dare to raise my eyes,

I saw the ship in the stars

strong of glittering fleet,

bringing light to the new born

in a dawn light,

task of hope,

these are stars
