Andromeda Take Note

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

We parked our hull behind the moon

Watching men scrape pigment onto plaster

A thousand years of sleeping

Then suddenly they started asking why

Pulleys creaked in Florence

They built a dome without a keystone fear

Something woke inside the species

A fever we could not explain

Pre-Chorus

We mapped their little marble

We logged each fevered thought

We measured how a candle learns to burn

Chorus

They drew the muscle underneath the skin

They drew the muscle underneath the skin

Andromeda take note

Andromeda take note

A mind is opening

Verse 2

Galileo aimed a tube at us

We waved and he wrote us down as moons

Da Vinci sketched a wing

That looked suspiciously like ours

Printing presses clattered like our engines

Every village got a louder voice

We hovered over Venice

Taking notes on how a species grows

Pre-Chorus

We sent no signal down

We only watched them climb

We wondered if they knew we came in peace

Chorus

They drew the muscle underneath the skin

They drew the muscle underneath the skin

Andromeda take note

Andromeda take note

A mind is opening

Bridge

Patient we are patient

We have orbited a hundred dying stars

Curious we are curious

How a candle becomes a sun

How a candle becomes a sun

Guitar Solo

Chorus

They drew the muscle underneath the skin

They drew the muscle underneath the skin

Andromeda take note

Andromeda take note

A mind is opening

Outro

We'll return in four hundred years

To see what they became

Mm

Mm-hmm
