Description:
A song about a spaceship.Lyrics:
“Bussard Collector” (2003)I’ve given up On waiting for the funding and congressional oversight I’ve given up On hoping for a groundswell of interest from the left and the right I’ve given up On impassioned presentations to those cuddling with their anchors at night I’ve given up On waiting for permission, it’s time for some cosmic D.I.Y. Whether or not you’re ready, I’m saying it’s Tau Ceti or bust I’m coming up With diagrams and blueprints and doing lots of math on the fly I’m coming up With vast legions of dreamers who can see more than just lights in the sky I’m coming up With excuses for my family, I can’t even hear my own baby cry I’m coming up With elegant schematics that I have to finish before I die I’d be there now but first we build a dish the size of Jersey on my Bussard Collector Feeding off the interstellar dust, on my Cosmic connector Some say we should but I tell you we must What else are we here for? Its pioneers will live for eons And comprehend what biological peons Can never dream The firmament will be their playground And when time and space run aground They’ll hear the scream On their Bussard Collector Staring down Orion man to man Cosmic connector Reaching the point where it all began I think a lot About the implications of what it is we’re trying to do I think a lot Of how we’ll feel when we find everything we know to be isn’t true I think a lot And I guess all of this thinking’s made me something of a stranger to you But think of this When we’re pushing the red limit you’ll be with me when we finally break through And on the side will be drawn a great dodecahedron On our Bussard Collector Soaring close to the speed of light Cosmic connector Finding the edge of the endless night What else are we here for? |
