Hello Earth

"Columbia now at nine times the speed of sound"
"Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on,
uh, TACAN two and three"
"The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned
trajectory are all one line on the block"
"Show your block decode..."

Hello, Earth
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight

Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little Earth
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home,
And you asleep
On the seat

I get out of my car,
Step into the night
And look up at the sky
And there's something bright,
Travelling fast
Just look at it go!

[A Georgian traditional song "Tsiv Tskaro" is sung here]

("Listen!")
Hello Earth

Watching storms
Start to form
Over America
Can't do anything
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea

All you sailors,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All life-savers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you cruisers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you fishermen,
Head for home

Go to sleep, little Earth
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest
Murderer!
Murder of calm
Why did I go?

"Tiefer, tiefer, irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht."
[English: Deeper,deeper somewhere in the deep there is a light]

Go to sleep little Earth.
