[00:16.51]I was out probing the weaknesses in society
[00:32.91]When I finally got all of my fat little fingers burned
[00:49.12]And worst of all, and warts and all,
[00:56.28]None of it was worth whatever I learned
[01:03.68]
[01:13.12]I was intent upon my progress
[01:20.84]Howling life was hanging on the telephone
[01:32.88]Why are the colours on the map always running?
[01:40.83]If it's really the truth, well, it isn't your own
[01:48.76]
[01:53.85]Reach for the beautiful day
[02:01.70]Reach for the far-off shore
[02:08.58]For one day you'll reach no more
[02:12.90]
[02:35.57]I get absolutely no pleasure from singing this song
[02:48.41]And hell, hell hath no fury when you laugh
[02:57.29]Please don't interrupt me with dumb readings
[03:05.06]From your cosmic origins spectrograph
[03:10.99]
[03:22.10]Listen now I have a prediction
[03:28.83]You won't be looking long into the gloom
[03:38.09]And it won't be going on forever
[03:44.58]And we won't be going to the moon
[03:51.20]
[03:52.30]But up we go…
[03:54.21]
[04:13.83]Reach for the beautiful day
[04:21.44]Reach for the far-off shore
[04:28.52]For one day you'll reach no more
