Everything Beautiful Is Far Away

He just finished eating dinner
 And stepped outside the cave to smoke
 A cigarette he'd made from rolled up photo paper
 They were pictures of things back on earth
 He looked out on the greyish white expanse
 Of uninhabited terrain he now called home
 He'd seen plenty of mirages and imaginary visitors up until then
 So he wasn't sure what to think when he saw swans
 And they were wading on the shores of a pale white lake
 That he'd never seen there before
 And it was quite beautiful and it was far away
 'Cause everything beautiful is far away
 He knew he was as good as gone
 But gone was somewhere he really didn't mind going to
 Since the shuttle had crashed many years had passed
 And the pictures of his loved ones
 That he drew on the walls of the cave had finally faded
 He put out his smoke and proceeded toward the lake
 Repeating to himself
 "Everything beautiful is far away"
 My problems(?) are done
 This time I overcome
 Right now it's just too hard for me
 I just wanna punch you
 Never let me(?)
