The Velocity of Saul at the Time of his Conversion

Loosen the wire, your time has expired
 The only word left is goodbye
 In my new dream the light's shining on me
 little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the sky
 ♪
 Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir
 Is settling in for the night
 And where I had friends, I am left with loose ends
 Four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of fright
 But enough of the fight
 Enough you and I
 Enough will prevail or walk in the light
 While the angels stand by I get high as a kite
 I'm too tired to smile
 Or know that I'm right
 Am I right
 And all our best-laid plans, well, they crumbled in our hands
 Our flags fell where they'd fanned
 
 You held in your breath long after projections of death
 You sat in the waiting rasping and gasped on dry land
 But the audience is tired, we've had enough fire
 We're entereing the age now of ice
 And I, feeling older, pull off to the shoulder
 And wonder, with my head in my hands, should I call my wife
 And say Enough you and I
 Enough of the fight
 Enough of 'prevail' or walk in the light
 While the angels stand by I get high as a kite
 I'm too tired to smile
 Or know that I'm right
 Enough you and I
 Enough of the fight
 Enough of "prevail" or walk in the light
 And when the spacecraft came down
 I was left on the ground
 Will you keep me around
 Will you help me survive
 After my time
