  1. And I think it's gonna be a long long time
    Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the man they think I am at home
    Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
    Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone.
    ~ Elton John

    1. In the beginning was a world
      Man said, "Let there be more light"
      Electric scenes a maze of beams
      Neon brights to light our boring nights

      On the second day he said, "Let's have a gas"
      Hydrogen and CO are of the past
      Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms
      Man will never be suppressed.

      And he said, "Behold what I have done
      I've made a better world for everyone
      Nobody laugh, nobody cry
      World without end, forever and ever"
      Amen, amen, amen

      On the third we get green and blue pill pie
      On the fourth we send rockets to the sky
      On the fifth make the beasts and submarines
      On the sixth man prepares his final dream

      In our image, let's make robots for our slaves
      Imagine all the time that we can save
      Computers, machines, the silicon dream
      Seventh he retired from the scene

      And he said, "Behold what I have done
      I've made a better world for everyone
      Nobody laugh, nobody cry
      World without end, forever and ever"
      Amen, amen, amen

      On the eighth day machine just got upset
      A problem man had never seen as yet
      No time for flight, a blinding light
      And nothing but a void, forever night

      He said, "Behold what man has done
      There's not a world for anyone
      Nobody laughed, nobody cried
      World's at an end, everyone has died"
      Forever amen, amen, amen

      He said, "Behold what man has done
      There's not a world for anyone
      Nobody laughed, nobody cried
      World's at an end, everyone has died"
      Forever amen, amen, amen
      Amen
