Free Design Lyrics - Stereolab

Where it had been left 

Hundreds of years ago 

Extract from the depth 

Is but a setting sun 

Paradise is scarce 

In this light that won't shine 

What is our earthly task 

But a worthy design 

Some held it in sight 

Scattered, it may have been 

They're ready to fight 

In a priceless inkling 

The request is here 

Ready to resurrect 

What else can we do 

But recover the project 

Our earthly design 

Can we be so detached? 

What crushes our desire 

Not to be trapped 

When the higher spheres 

Tell us to and not to 

Everyone agrees 

Demanding more veto 

Our earthly design 

Can we be so detached? 

What crushes our desire 

Not to be trapped
