Orion, Orion, Orion you’re dyin’
Orion, Orion, I’m cryin.’
It’s a sad and subtle irony
But Orion you’re dyin’
I’m cryin.’
See the lights, the blips that set the world free
Orion, Orion can’t see
Those lights, they’re killin’
Orion, they’re fillin’
They sky with glitter and gleam.
Orion, Orion, Orion I’m cryin’
Not just because you’re dyin’
Orion, Orion, can’t mend
My cryin’
‘Cause Orion, Orion is dyin.’
Orion, Orion, my oldest friend
No longer can make amends,
‘Cause Orion, Orion, Orion is dyin’
And alas, the world ain’t cryin’.
But Orion, Orion, you’re dyin’
I’m cryin’
But you won’t be forever lost
‘Cause Orion, Orion, though you be dyin’
On Earth ain’t the same as for all
Orion, Orion, whatever the cost
I wouldn’t let mankind fall
And Orion, Orion, my old friend is dyin’
But only from sight with these eyes.
Orion, Orion, the same are done cryin’
‘Cause the world shares your brilliance: the prize.
Orion, Orion, you’re not really dyin’
Orion, ya ain’t even cryin’.
