Lyrics Mechanical Cabaret - Ne Plus Ultra

Ne Plus Ultra

Something’s shining in the night
All the Stars are holding tight
They’re worried that they’ve lost their light
Can’t see themselves
As it’s too bright
The moon is watching over me
But the planets seem to pull themselves to you

Oceans rise at your command
Creatures speak and understand
Mountains move across the land
And nature guides your gracious hand
And people put their weapons down
And stop to think
And start to put things right

Don’t think you’ve lost your marbles
Because marbles can be found
You don’t have to try to marvel
To stupend or to astound
What you are is worth much more now
Alive than in the ground
You’ll never know quite what you are
But you’re something no one else will ever be

I’ve no idea what’s on your mind
To yourself you’re so unkind
What I see is much more than ‘fine’
I recognise the tell-tale signs
Angels give their wings to you
And all words lose their meaning
In the end
