lyrics

Everything we are given,
Every face I’ve ever loved or known.
Stranded on a spinning stone

I could be forgiven,
For dreaming life in Kodachrome.
Comfortable in Goldilocks’ Zone
Are we all alone?

We’re the Pan-Galactic Fire Station,
Hold the line,
Oh please be patient.
We know you’re in the queue,
Maybe there’s something we can do.

Before the answer,
We must get the question right.
Blinded by the speed of light.

You told me of Fermi,
I couldn’t sleep a wink that night.
I lie here waiting for the fight.

Is there anyone in sight?

We’re the Pan-Galactic Fire Station,
Hold the line,
Oh please be patient.
We know you’re in the queue,
Maybe there’s something we can do.

Beyond one million light-years,
Deep in outer-space.
We know that we are not alone.
We’ll come to save your planet,
If we’re not too late.
Until then you’re on your own.

But you’ve always got the phone…

We’re the Pan-Galactic Fire Station,
Hold the line,
Oh please be patient.
We know you’re in the queue,
Maybe there’s something we can do.
