The universe, she's wounded 
 She's got bruises on her feet 
 I sat down like I always did 
 And tried to calm her down 
    I sent her my warmth and my silence 
 And all she sends me back is rain, rain   
 The universe, she's wounded 
 But she's still got infinity ahead of her 
 She's still got you and me 
 And everybody says that she's beautiful   
 The universe, she's dancing now 
 They got her lit up, lit up on the moon 
 They got stars doing cartwheels, all the nebulas on the tune 
 And the universe, she's whispering so softly I can hear all 
 The croaking insects, all the taxicabs, all the bum's spent change 
 All the boys playing ball in the alleyways 
 They're just folds in her dress   
 The universe, she's wounded 
 But she's still got infinity ahead of her 
 She's still got you and me 
 And everybody says that she's beautiful 
 And everybody says
