Said the spokesman to the newspaper; "It's time for advancement"
With a hint of importance implied
We've developed an hypothesis, an ultimate journey
But there's only one ticket to ride
The shutter man who'd fidgeted and thought about mealtime
Paid attention when nudged from the side
By the terse man of verse who'd been fed idle rumour
That most often turned out to be lies
The something tone in the voice of a spokesman rang out and smacked of easy headlines
We've decided that a shift in focus was due, what we'll do is
Put advancement of our own species first
Go to the edge of the known Universe
While we wouldn't have believed it 'cept it said in the papers
We need one, lone passenger first
From the simple to the smart there was a buzz like mosquitoes as the heavy haze fuzzed into day
'Cause we sensed the excitement and potential confusion, we've already picked a needle from hay
Alarming tones from the phone of a viewer rang out
Who was informed in good time
A lucky ballot from a field of a million or two chooses you to take the lesson we're longing to learn
And when you arrive you'll return
So please sir, if you can, fit the plan, you'll be our nowhere man, and one fine day we'll send you into AAHH
Is Everything Ready
(You're Going To End)
You know i'll miss you
