Adam Ford - I Must Destroy the Space Whale lyrics

I must destroy the space-whale for too long she has blocked the sun her cetacean shadow covers this whole town I've got the perfect weapon a rocket with a robot brain I'll point the warhead directly at her heart I'll watch the flame recede and listen for the sound that says "The path is clear once more for satellites" the smell of burning whale-meat will fill the air as she comes down I've got a hole dug deep to hold her tight the darkness will be lifted the earth will shake with her defeat I'll pack the dirt around her smouldering bulk I'll wipe my dirty hands and walk from where the space-whale lies my mortal enemy finally put to rest millions will thank me for what I have done no-one will miss the space-whale
