So, this all started by mocking The Doors. Pryce wrote this with a "bossa nova" beat in the background, scribbling down nonsensical space lyrics. Bossa nova became Supernova, and that's that. Big story! Deep meaning!

lyrics

Space exploded out of the dawn
No questions asked, we carry on

We wait until the answer arrives
It never does and we say goodbye

Another place in time and beyond
You think you think you’ve got it grasped but time will abscond

Descent into clay, permanent wave, counting your days
Into the next supernova

Rupture in time and space
Melt Green cheese all over the place
The moon below,
high as I’ll go
Here and gone with out a trace

Reach out to grab a bit
Choose wisely, that’s all you get
Here and gone and come and pass in the bye and bye
Here and gone in the blink of an eye

One day the sun’ll explode in the sky
We can only wonder why
While we wait for the story to be over
Into the next supernova
