I’m staring through the telescope hungry,
I’m staring through the telescope at all, at all,
I know
When every inch of matter is measured,
and every force and element is known, is known,
It’s on
You’re looking for whatever comes after,
You’re looking for a way to escape,
Escape it all
You’re looking for a map with no markings,
You’re having second thoughts about it all,
It all
But I see, a Geiger counter, and I see, a Richter scale!
Go! Leave your homes! Take whatever you can!
It’s no joke! It’s coming towards you!
And you can make a difference so easy,
You can make a difference but you don’t, you don’t,
I know
And you never tell me anything real now,
You never have the time to watch it all, it all,
I know
And everybody thinking of the same thing,
And nobody is saying it you know,
You know it all
You skip a generation and find it, you skip a generation and oh,
And oh
And I see, a Geiger counter and I see, a Richter scale!
And the truth is, the birth of a child,
The sunlight, it’s all I ever had!
Go! Leave your homes! Take whatever you can!
It’s no joke! It’s coming towards you!
Go! Leave your homes! Take whatever you can!
It’s no joke! It’s coming towards you!
And I could make a difference so easy,
I could make a difference but I don’t,
Darling, I’m closing.
