2,000 Light Years From Home Lyrics
Sun turning 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home
Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
Bell flight fourteen you now can land
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home

Aldebaran, a giant red star about 44 times the diameter of the Sun and with 150 times the Sun's luminosity, is "only" 65 light years from the earth. I think he missed his stop!
In any event, maybe life on earth looks so bleak to him that loneliness and life on a hot red star is an improvement. And of course the red star could be a metaphor for satanism.
At today's fuel prices, this is one expensive voyage, that's for certain!

jagger wrote this song when he was in jail, she was nothing special, and then Brian Jones added melotron... oh baby..
Yeah this is a good one. The rest of the album I don't much like though.
One of the first rock songs to feature the synthesiser. It's a little ahead of its time.
I love psychedelia and this is front and off center to me. I love it, love it, love it. Yay Brian's melotron.
I wanna safe on the green desert sand.
this is so psychadelic for the stones...i love it.
I discovered this song after i read "Dispatches" from Michael Herr...i never also listed to "beggars banquet" the same way after...
its about space travel
