lyrics

Carl returned to his hotel room, opened the door, threw his keys down on the floor
Fell right back into bed, on an uncomfortable mattress, blinking red just to his right, was the answer-machine light
He pressed play on the machine, there she was excitedly, playing a song called ‘Flowing Stream’, an ancient Chinese tune, filling his cheap hotel room
and it was the perfect track, so he called his colleague back, their code finally cracked, and their Voyage had begun
She said “The sound of a kiss, will travel, beyond the heliosphere
And if we send them Jonny B Goode, well I can already hear the cheer
The chances of anyone finding it, are one in a million”
And he said “No”...”Billions and billions”
Everything moved, Everything moved, And at the end of that phone call they knew
That on our tiny world, for just a few moments, In the immensity of time
They were one, Eureka
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, they will never return, from Jupiter or Saturn
Moving through interstellar space, the space between the stars
Where the best stuff always occurs, even right back here on Earth
and those gold records they deserve, their one chance to be heard, Stravinsky and Mozart, the sound of a human heart, thunder earthquakes and lightning, oh to hear a blackbird sing, tractors and a car horn, a mum’s first words to her unborn, all of our different languages, and if they get bored of this, they can always fall back on, the Chuck Berry
She said “I love you so much I want to record the impulses in my brain
And send those waves of love, into space
The chances of finding love like this are one in a million
And he said “No, actually billions and billions”
Her brainwaves, no word of a lie, sound like a string of exploding fireworks
One glorious minute in time, of a 27-year-old woman totally in love
And if you can’t fall in love, making a mix tape for the universe
Then you can’t fall in love, not ever
‘Cos the beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
It’s the way those atoms are put together
What greater might, do we humans possess, than the ability to question and to learn from all the best things, we’ve accomplished here so far, so far from other stars, by sending out a piece of us, into the great cosmos, sending heartbeats into the black, we’re finally giving something back, ‘cos we may have been to the moon, and planted all our flags, our telescopes take photographs, our robot footprints leave their mark, but that gold record’s who we are, those brainwaves among the stars
And still they move, And still they move
Two revolving records of proof, That on our tiny world, for just a few seconds
In the immensity of time, They were one, Two were one, Eureka
