I. Music For Burglars
(Instrumental)
II. Cogito Ergo Zip
I've often wondered if the things that I've accomplished
Could make a change,
Or anything I said in words or song
Could have an import on the age....
But all these childhood fantasies of stardom were
Images in my eyes
A dream to be important, just to who?
For they're as fragile as I
Round and round and round,
Feel the world spin round,
Safely spinning on eternal course....
As a race we never notice the fragility,
Or import of our deeds....
That the meteorites above us can erase us in a moment,
Wish such apparent ease,
All literature and science,
All our music, all religion in a flash
Will have no impact on the cosmos
In the instant of the impact and the crash
“If we fail to respond to the technical challenge
of preventing these catastrophes, then sooner
or later, there will be an object, an asteroid,
or a comet, which will hit us and cause disaster”
Round and round and round,
As Voyager goes down,
A last survivor on a sea of hope
hope that someone gets our (message in a bottle)
III. If We Fail To Respond
(Instrumental)
