(aka By Juno)
The songs Familiar (By Juno) and By Jove are songs written from the perspective of two cosmic lovers telling the story of how they created the heavens through their tumultuous love affair and destroyed each other in the process, later being reincarnated as humans that run into each other at a bar and can't quite place why they are so drawn to each other.
lyrics
You seem familiar
Hands they just keep going round
In the clock above you
Hands they just keep going round
But oh, time keeps getting younger in your face
Once when you and I were ruling the world from the clouds we made
So, you seem familiar
You won’t even turn my way
Did dear old god of memory steal our proverbial fate?
But oh, I don’t believe that it’s true I know, I just know
You know I didn’t mean what I said when I cursed you out into the black black night
But you just kept on throwing out your bolts of light out into that hazy atmosphere
So, I held you tight and we burst until the sun appeared
How was I to know?
You seem familiar
Hands they just keep going round
In the clock above you
Hands they just keep going round
But oh, time keeps getting slower in your face
You and your Jupiter eyes – I know
