Analysis of Jupiter Rising
Jupiter’s rising in the sky tonight
I can’t decide if I should try to fight
The sun sets early
On the dark side of your mood
The howl of the coyote gives me a scare
A rush to the heart, I breathe in the air
Like a thief in the night
I’m on the run
But time has a way of eclipsing the sun
Setting somewhere between us and them
Look me in the eye and tell me what’s real
Let me know how you really feel
I’m not afraid, but I’m not a fool
I don’t need any brain damage
You want to play
The great gig in the sky
And you speak to me about the money
Like it’s black or white
But according to Floyd
It can be any colour you like
As long as it’s not pink.
