We named the constellations
We drew the maps and we divided up the nations
Indulged our fetishes and fascinations
And here we thought that's all we ever wanted

We stayed up late
Connecting names with faces
Kept ourselves entertained
Memorizing dates and places
Dates and places, dates and places

We put the moon in orbit
And set the tides in motion
We paved and lit the roads
That joined the cities that we constructed
You bent the truth
But I didn't mind
'Cause we made the rules
And every way that we could break them
We could break them, we could break them

We named the constellations
We drew the maps and we divided up the nations
And now I'm so tired
And now I'm so tired
"You go to sleep" she said
"And I will be there when you wake up."
