Lyrics

[Intro]

Columbia now nine times the speed of sound

Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on, uh, TACAN 23

The, uh, tracking data, map data, and pre-planned trajectory are all one line on the block

[Verse 1]

Hello, Earth (Hello, Earth)

Hello, Earth (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

[PreChorus]

I get out of my car, step into the night

And look up at the sky

And there's something bright, travelling fast

[Chorus]

Just look at it go

Just look at it go

[Instrumental]

Hello, Earth

Hello, Earth

Watching storms start to form

Over America

Can't do anything

Just watch them swing with the wind out to sea

[Bridge]

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

[PreChorus]

I was there at the birth, out of the cloudburst

The head of the Tempest

Murderer, murderer of calm

[Chorus]

Why did I go?

Why did I go?

[Instrumental]

Tiefer, tiefer

Irgendwo in der Tiefe

Gibt es ein Licht

[Instrumental]

Go to sleep, little Earth
