It's Not The Same Moon

It's Not The Same Moon - Sting

Did you ever hear the theory of the universe

Where every time you make a choice

A brand new planet gets created

Did you ever hear that theory

Does it carry any sense

That a choice can split the world in two

Or is it all just too immense for you

That they all exist in parallel

Each one separate from the other

And every subsequent decision

Makes a new world then another

And they all stretch out towards infinity

Getting further and further away

Now were a man to reconsider his position

And try to spin the world back to its original state

It's not a scientific proposition

And relatively speaking you're late

It's not the same moon in the sky

And these are different stars

And these are different constellations

From the ones that you've described

Different rules of navigation

Strange coordinates and lines

A completely different zodiac

Of unfamiliar signs

It's not the same moon in the sky

And those planets are misleading

I wouldn't even try to take a bearing or a reading

Just accept that things are different

You've no choice but to comply

When smarter men have failed to see

The logic as to why

It's not the same moon

It's not the same moon

In the sky
