The 'breaks' in this tune are, in my opinion, the coolest part of 
the song.  I only wish I knew what they were; too much for me, 
especially stuck with a mere acoustic!  Please, somebody, HELP! 
 
Fm               
Sun turning 'round with graceful motion 
We're setting off with soft explosion 
Bbm 
Bound for a star with fiery oceans 
Ab 
It's so very lonely 
Bb               C                Fm 
You're a hundred light years from home 
 
Freezing red deserts turn to dark 
Energy here in every part 
It's so very lonely 
you're six hundred light years from home 
 
{Break:  Instrumental for first two verse lines, then 'it's so 
very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home.  Then the 
two-bars worth of music that normally ends the stanza; then 
repeating 'it's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years 
from home.'  Back to Intro-type music.} 
 
Bell flight fourteen you can now land 
See you on Alpha (?) Boran 
Safe on the green desert sand 
It's so very lonely 
you're two thousand light years from home 
 
{Some music pretty much like the break, but mutating into other 
stuff to a beautifully messy end.}
