Jackie's heart is broken. The earth - his muse and lover, has changed so much over the years that he hardly recognises her. Where once there was beauty, so bright and palpable, now there's only the cold embers of its memory. Sometimes the heart gets so heavy, has felt so much that it is yearning for an end, not so much a resolution as a release.
And so Jackie longs for his home planet, the Moon, again. Leaving behind a Planet that is being devoured by its own inhabitant's relentless pursuit of self destruction.

Lyrics:
Life goes on
while I sing this song
let it tear me down
you wouldn’t even frown
not that you do
for anything around you
stuck like glue
eyes wide shut
life goes on
without us
I keep on loving you
Life goes on
but does it ever do
I grew tired of dancing
hanging up my blue suede shoes
stealing one last smile
from your lips
stuck on you
eyes wide shut
life goes on
without us
I keep on loving you
I have never been here
no I have really never been
of this world
now I’m leaving
don’t say that you’ll miss me
you’ll forget eventually
