Late last night while wishing on a star
Down from the sky came a man in a car He said "Get in, Jackson Come on let's go for a ride" Outta sight Sitting in the cockpit strapped down in a chair I said, "Hey, tell me What's that over there?" He said, "Meet my computer." He's a friendly son of a gun and we're having fun Playing cards on Venus in a cloudy room Pass a glass of ammonia, I got to get off soon Sunbathin' on Mercury or jammin' on Jupiter Which do you prefer? It's getting pretty late, I got to go home Nice to have met you, what's your telephone? Maybe soon I'll call you If I can afford the fare It's long distance out there Anus of Uranus, he's a friend of mine He's a first-rate party and a real fine time Anus of Uranus, he's a friend of mine He's a first-rate party and a real fine time |

Just beneath the Great White Way Alfred Beach worked secretly Risking all to ride a dream His wind machine His wind machine New York City and the morning sun Were awoken by the strangest sound Reportedly as far as Washington The tremors shook the earth As Alfie blew underground Blew underground, he blew underground Ah, all aboard Sub Rosa Subway Had you wondered Who's been digging under Broadway It's Alfred Poor Al, oh no, Al As for America's first subway The public scoffed "It's far too crude" One station filled with Victoria's Age >From frescoed walls And goldfish fountains To Brahmsian tunes |

Oh
My love and I were thinking How low our boat was sinking From fishing for the blues Every lure we tried Jonesey turned the tide We lost our cool Caught in whirlpools Oh So bland was our condition We summoned black magicians To wave a wand or two Talismanic spells Tannis root and well To tell the tale Their magic failed If that is all you want (Doctor Marvello) Then I may be of service If all you want is love (Doctor Marvello) Well I may know a special man Whose love machine turns can't to can With your mind in mind With your mind in mind (A passage of time) Oh The trance wore off by morning A sentimental journey was hazily recalled Though it sounds absurd We're completely cured And now we're fine And now we're fine And now we're fine My love and I |

Well do you get the itching to Trek about the latitudes, you do? Well likely you're a chip Off old Sir Rugglesby Well he was quite a sporting sort Behind his cup o'tea he'd snort I'll wager on the line Ten thousand pounds and five I'm the only man who'll ever get to Hell and come back alive (Act Two) Now in the fall of forty-nine He skipped across the seven brine this time Looking for a berth in naval history T'was never heard nor seen agian Oficially presumed as dead But the words he left behind Still echoed through my mind I'm the only man who'll ever get to Hell and come back alive He's the only man who'd ever get to Hell and come back alive (Intermission) (Act Three) ...then one night While tripping down the English coast The moon was whiter than a ghost, almost When I heard a voice yell through a megaphone And there upon the midnight sea A signal lamp signalled me I could feel me blood run cold As the message did decode I'm the only man who's ever been to Hell and come back alive Well who else could it be But good old Rugglesby? He's the only man could ever get to Hell and come back alive Yes he's the only man who's (He's the only one) Ever gone and been to (Who's been and gone) To hell and come back Hell and come back Hell and come back alive (The End) |

I trace erratic lines In motion and in time I fought a battle won To the surface of the sun Through fires on and on It's only you It can't be me For I myself refuse to be I am someone you'll never know I am the little neutrino Solus is not far away It's face is brighter than a day So don't turn me away It's only you It can't be me For I myself refuse to be I am someone you'll never know I am the little neutrino And now I'm passing through The one who's known as you And yet you'll never know I do "Good-night" |

And the only ones allowed to come are those who feel they can Go right along with the master plan For we're all agreed that all we need is sitting there in your head Is that all? That's all. That's all? That's all. So raise the sails and trim all the sheets Set your course and jam all the cleats We'll follow the north star to know where we are so You sleepyheads get out of bed right now Let your fortunes be cast to the wind And so it's off we go to some uncharted shore 'Cause the only kind we're out to find are those worth looking for You can tag along should you feel the urge to merge 'Cause we're all agreed that all we need is Hope and a little courage Is that all? That's all. Ooh hoo hoo So raise the sails and trim all the sheets Set your course and jam all the cleats We'll follow the North Star to know where we are so You sleepyheads get out of bed right now Get out the lead full steam ahead smartly now For the journey begins The journey begins Our journey begins come the sun Well wouldn't you like to go too ...? |

Now you find it harder still You seem quite catatonic of late Say your last rites for the world that created you madman Madman Time passed and you ceased your evolution Where is your solution now It's over You missed your last chance to find the answer Before the last man becomes a madman Madman Weep now for the children of your children It's not for you but they we sing Do it And when you realize that you blew it You will look in the eyes of the madman Madman (You blew it you blew it you blew it you blew it you blew it) |

Some new equipment to take us where we're going A subspace machine, a hole in the fabric Of the very being of the universe Ignition Atomic power on We must break our orbit and soar right past the planets It took man a million years To make it only this far And we'll leave the solar system very soon... Around the universe in eighty days Sit down I think you'll like it out in space There's nothing left to stop us now We're sure to win the race (Sure to win the race...) In our warp where time and space are one We can no longer see the sun In fact there's nothing there for us to see For light is nowhere near as fast as we Our computer says we've exceeded expectations When we reach our departure point there will be celebrations What this means is our existence no longer has a limit The universe will be our new home Now the earth is just beginning to learn of our existence All life in space must learn to live as one Maybe now is the time for friendship with out neighbors For our planet is the second from the sun Around the universe in eighty days Sit down I think you'll like it out in space There's nothing left to stop us now We're sure to win the race (Sure to win the race...) |

Through a fortunate turn of events, this original transcription has been
acquired of a dissertation given by the late Professor Charles Pamplemousse R.C.B. at the Eighteenth Assembly of the Heirs of the Politzanian Empire. Professor Pamplemousse was a distinguished anthropologist of his time whom many believed to be the world's leading authority on the subject of extinct civilizations. The program concludes with the singing of "The Politzanian National Anthem." As facts are few and far between hypothesis denies all logic as to what precisely, er, led to her demise. For what appears sheer grandiosity, no legacy remains except her crumbling ruins on which these words were found engraved: Politzania Politzania Long live Politzania Politzania Politzania God save Politzania Now these ancient Politzanians as far as archeologists have traced had most thoroughly convinced themselves they were a superior race. Quite a ridiculous notion, granted, however if we assume her sister rivals rose to quell such monstrous claims, I most humbly submit her unpleasant end is satisfactorily explained. Politzania Politzania Long live Politzania Politzania Politzania God save Politzania Those citizens who questioned, those suspect harborers of doubt, were brought before a panel of the Ministry of Health. They were tested and encephalographed 'Til rendered quite insane When in accordance with the laws They reprocessed their brains They reprocessed their brains ha ha ha ha They reprocessed their brains The Politzanian National Anthem Politzania, brave strong and true Politzania, we all love you We'll smite our foes for we are right And God is on our side Politzania, red, white and green Politzania, reigning supreme Victors in war Champions of peace Unto eternity (Everybody now) La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la We're the masters of the world |

"I am the very loneliest of all creatures in the universe
Indeed I am an epitaph to man For having witnessed mass destruction like you've never dreamed and worse I fear I shall bear witness once again." So said the lighthouse keeper As he struggled up the spiral stairs Which led him to the laser flare which spanned the cosmic void Where keeping constant vigil He'd forewarn this gallant guard of guards Beware all ships the space graveyard and its stones of asteroids "For though my race was though immune Themselves they did consume So be warned or be mourned tomorrow And from your deafness do desist And pray take heed of this For your present course can only end in sorrow..." So said the lighthouse keeper As he wiped a teardrop from his nose Upon which his spectacles rose and gazed out to the stars And like a portrait still he stared And sighing to himself declared "I must invent the perfect prayer Not yours, not mine, but ours Which in the name of charity Might lead us to eternal peace The ultimate philosophy Some simple, single phrase." The old and much encumbered man Then came to rest with head in hand He thought and thought and thought away His last remaining day. Epilogue When to his end the old man came Death told him "You'll not die in vain" And on his lips the fatal kiss was placed But from within his falling chest The old man uttered one last breath And had we heard his parting word We'd know that he had said... |

Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
Hope the master cobbler of our dreams For Hope believes in desert streams The mightiest of stars The microcosm in a jar Vast or small they all revolve on Hope Hope the guardian angel of the dove Hope a gift of guidance from above For Hope is the heart in mother's love No plans could be conceived No ships could fare the seas For there would be no courage were it not for Hope Now the path before us lies before our very eyes Don't you see And it leads up to the gateway Lead me through Don't you see Then come and take my hand Raise up your head And dry your eyes For up ahead I see Woh woh yeah A ray of peace A-shining on me So let us feel Hope And feel the sunrise in our minds To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind Ah but lose Hope and life seems black as blind When faith gives way to fear When motivation disappears All is lost if one abandons Hope All is lost If one abandons Hope |
