Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could not take it oh so seriously really
When you called and said you'd seen a UFO
But then it dawned on me, the message in writing
Spelled out a meeting, never dreamed of before
[Verse 2]
I looked out in the night
Strange and startling
Was this voice of time just saying
"There's got to be a linking of everyone
Got to be a center"
It all comes flooding back
[Verse 3]
Arriving through the eons of time's immortal power
Of the future to behold
Vessels of a different impression
None that we could ever hope to have known
So look out in the night
Once they arrive on that perennial light
Impress a bolder empire of energy
In the ships we see the coming of outer space
[Verse 4]
You say there's no reason to conjure
With the force as it has been known to be seen
You say I'm a fool, a believer
Put your feet on the Earth, it is green
[Verse 5]
But look out in the night
Wait, for they arrive to start the sciences anew
Here it is, the coming of outer space
Such a pure delight, the coming of outer space
