Around The Universe In Eighty Days Lyrics by Klaatu

Peaks

1977

[Intro]
Come aboard my ship, I've something to show you
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
[Verse 1]
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...
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
In our warp, when 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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
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 our neighbors
For our planet is the second from the sun
[Chorus]
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...)
