When you're in love with the world
There's only so much to see
Til you get caught up in the bigness of (sm)all things
Lose yourself, start to sing (la la la la la)
But i think i know all there is for me to know
About the world, and the loneliness beyond the Uni...
Versed myself, now in space
Learned the ropes, set a pace
Overqualified there'll be no race
So i'll miss you love out in space (la la la la la)
And now that i know, all there is for me to know
About myself, now i'm losing all my friends over something i love,
And someone to hold...
(There is only one way, the only way is OUT)

The Announcement

Said the spokesman to the newspaper; "It's time for advancement,"
With a hint of importance implied.
We've developed an hypothesis, an ultimate journey,
But there's only one ticket to ride
The shutter man who'd fidgeted and thought about mealtime,
paid attention when nudged from the side
by the terse man of verse who'd been fed idle rumour
that most often turned out to be lies.
The something tone in the voice of a spokesman rang out
and smacked of easy headlines
We've decided that a shift in focus was due, what we'll do is
Put advancement of our own species first,
Go to the edge of the known Universe,
While we wouldn't have believed it 'cept it said in the papers
we need one, lone passenger first.
From the simple to the smart there was a buzz like mosquitoes as the heavy haze fuzzed into day,
'Cause we sensed the excitement and potential confusion, we've already picked a needle from hay.
Alarming tones from the phone of a viewer rang out,
who was informed in good time,
A lucky ballot from a field of a million or two chooses you to take the lesson we're longing to learn,
And when you arrive you'll return,
So please sir, if you can, fit the plan, you'll be our nowhere man, and one fine day we'll send you into...
AAAAHHHH==============================================
Is Everything Ready
(You're Going To End)
You know i'll miss you

Grand Central
04:30
|

As the earth slows down, all the days seem the same
We were spinning round, at the regular rate
But the course had changed, anchored down by the weight
At the time we noticed, but it'd be labelled some kind of mistake
Then a girl good at sums said, "someone's moved the sun,"
She could see no way we could save Grand Central, it's essential
That we all take a fall for the girl.
Still the world slows down, and the days stay the same
We were losing ground, uninformed of our fate
Some of those who knew, lost all hope and fell on through
As the beacon flickered and withered and then disappeared out of view
Just don't be ashamed no remorse can change
That no man made science can save Grand Central, it's essential
That we all take a fall for the girl.
Just don't be ashamed no remorse can change
There's no god or science to save Grand Central, it's essential
That we all take a fall for the girl.
That we all take a fall for the girl.
That we fall, one and all, for the girl.

Regular, nowhere man
Checking out and strapping in,
While this 'aint normal, could be anyone
Section E, line 84
Launch attempt secure doors and lifelines,
Direct your eyelines to the sky.
Automatic function overrides the nerve
And though the ships' still grounded there's no sign of earth.
"Calling on, OVIS#1,
Our procedures here are done, is there a problem
Yours are slowing down."
Cuts the contemplation short,
There's no time for second thoughts,
Last minute questions or replies,
Transistors, Switches glowing 1 thru 42
(and it seems so sad)
The final view on earth is blue on blue (on blue)
The Outer Void Intrepid Sailor
With no plan B incase of failure
And just one thing that's left to say to yuh,
Bye, Bye, Bye.

A.O.K. Up Here
03:23

As those troubles lift away,
So does the normal time of day
These things now OVIS regulates
How much i eat and when i wake
Seemed like i was heading up but now,
It's not so much up, ever more out
Out of systems that we know
Conscious stasis inter-flow
With no plans or ties you start to de-crystalize,
Got nothing and then everything to fear
I'll bet you all can't wait 'til the circuitry disintegrates,
I'm gonna be alright, tonight up here.
Tried to keep an eye on earth,
I tried and strained until it hurt
Now there's a hurt that just won't go
One thing that OVIS can't control
With no plans or ties you'll start to de-crystallize,
Got nothing and then everything to fear.
I'll bet you all can't wait 'til the circuitry disintegrates,
I'm gonna be alright, tonight up here.

At the end of the day he was off to bed,
But first he spoke into a microphone
He shared his thoughts with the folks back home
There was something wrong with his microphone
A few short words, 'fore i rest my lids
A special message for the kids
It's something about how how far it is
Between the earth and the end of the Universe.

The Radio is Dead

"We're losing him," they said,
he pulled his blanket from the bed, and stretching,
Dreamed of somewhere closer to his home
And tragedy on earth, he woke to take his birth-control-sized breakfast pill
he's sleep rejuvenated, they don't know he's out there still
And then she said,
(We're so far out) And getting further still
(I know the place) but i can't take you anymore,
The Radio is Dead.
They spoke but no reply for hours,
Watched the image til it turned to noise,
She can't exist without the thought of touching down
He woke to no reply and then he had to question why they said,
"I'll meet you on the other side of everything we know,"
But then she said,
(We're so far out) And getting further still
(I know the place) but i can't take you anymore,
The Radio is Dead.
E84 said if everything breaks down you'll be a hero in all towns and cities, But given that's a negative 100 percentage probability,
(I'm leaving now, all circuits down, communications out...)
And getting further still...

No Pianos
04:35

I rode a motorway on gravity's arms
Over the milky way but under the stars?
And found another piece of the puzzle, getting warmer
And opened another box, getting closer now to another
And it's hard, when alone.
(oooh aaah)
There's no pianos in space,
so i can't even practice my scales,
the knobs and dials won't replace,
all the black and white feelings i feel,
can you help me feel?

Agent 54

Agent 54, Came flying through the door,
The moment i walked in, crying, shouting "it's a sin."
All the others lied, they said his mother died,
But now i know the truth, cos there's no-one with more proof,
than me...
I've been floating here for so many hours,
But back there on earth seems so many light years away
The world i know is gone cos it's just so hard to tell,
Just a dot in the sky, seen by no naked-eye,
Still i'm hoping i can find my way to
Lost my head for days, Been feeling much more sane,
But i just saw myself out the porthole near the shelf,
A trick of the light, or pre-attempted flight,
What i can't guarantee, is that there's no-one else but me, (out here)
And we've been floating now for so many miles,
But somewhere the earth, it's billions of lifetimes away
The world i knew is dead, no-way to comprehend,
And i'm hoping to die, for the boundary is nigh,
Not a god-fearing guy, even if i had tried to be,
After all that i've been, all i've done and i've seen,
Could there even be an outer void to sail?
