WHEN YOU'RE FEELIN'
INSIDE OUT
AND INSECURE
WHEN LIFE KEEPS
GETTIN' YA DOWN
WHEN ALL LIFE'S
DAILY WORRIES
HURRY THROUGH
YOUR HEAD
YOU DON'T WANNA
EVEN GET UP
YOU JUST LIE AROUND
IN BED
WHEN YOU FEEL
YOU JUST CAN'T
TAKE IT ANYMORE
AND YOU WONDER
WHAT ON EARTH
IT IS ALL FOR
YOUR LOVE LIFE'S
LIKE A WAR ZONE
YOUR TV'S ON THE BLINK
IT'S ENOUGH TO
DRIVE A DRINKIN' MAN
TO STOP
AND TAKE A THINK
JUST REMEMBER
THAT YOU'RE STANDING
ON A PLANET
THAT'S EVOLVING
REVOLVING AT
NINE HUNDRED MILES
AN HOUR
IT'S ORBITING AT
NINETEEN MILES
A SECOND
SO IT'S RECKONED
A SUN THAT IS
THE SOURCE OF
ALL OUR POWER
THE SUN AND
YOU AND ME AND
ALL THE STARS
THAT WE CAN SEE
ARE MOVING AT
A MILLION MILES A DAY
IN AN OUTER SPIRAL ARM
AT FORTY THOUSAND
MILES AN HOUR
OF THE GALAXY
WE CALL THE MILKY WAY
OUR GALAXY ITSELF
CONTAINS A HUNDRED
BILLION STARS
IT'S A
HUNDRED THOUSAND
LIGHT-YEARS
SIDE TO SIDE
IT BULGES
IN THE MIDDLE
SIXTEEN THOUSAND
LIGHT-YEARS THICK
BUT OUT BY US
IT'S JUST
THREE THOUSAND
LIGHT-YEARS WIDE
WE'RE THIRTY THOUSAND
LIGHT-YEARS
FROM GALACTIC
CENTRAL POINT
WE GO 'ROUND
EVERY TWO HUNDRED
MILLION YEARS
AND OUR GALAXY
IS ONLY ONE
OF MILLIONS
OF BILLIONS
IN THIS AMAZING AND
EXPANDING UNIVERSE
OUR UNIVERSE ITSELF
KEEPS ON EXPANDING
AND EXPANDING
IN ALL OF
THE DIRECTIONS
IT CAN WHIZ
AS FAST AS IT CAN GO
THE SPEED OF LIGHT
YOU KNOW
TWELVE MILLION MILES
A MINUTE AND THAT'S
THE FASTEST SPEED
THERE IS
SO REMEMBER
WHEN YOU'RE FEELIN'
VERY SMALL
AND INSECURE
HOW AMAZINGLY
UNLIKELY IS YOUR BIRTH
AND PRAY THAT THERE'S
INTELLIGENT LIFE
SOMEWHERE UP IN SPACE
'CAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT
WE'VE BEEN CHEATED
HERE ON EARTH
