Perhaps I'm next in evolution
Stuck here living planetside, can't stand it here
And you're the UFO in my suburban sky
So high above the atmosphere
High above the atmosphere
I know that you see through the clouds
Through choking smog and layered leaves
You have to know who sends the call
You have to know who still believes and
Are you out there, can you hear me?
Luke and Leia, Ben Kenobi
I was down here listening all the time
And though the clouds surround and blind me
I still hope that you will find me
I was down here listening all the time
Last night I climbed the water tower
Tried to get a good view of the Perseids
And through that high transparency
The stars seemed more familiar than the city did
Stars were more familiar than the city
It's the first time I stayed up all night
The full moon sets behind the hills
I'm feeling trapped in gravity
I think I'm losing to the windmills
Are you out there, can you hear me?
Kirk and Sulu, Spock and Scotty
I was down here listening all the time
And though the clouds surround and blind me
I still hope that you will find me
I was down here listening all the time
It seems my whole life I've been ready
Phoning home with Speak & SETI
Study physics, astrogation
Road maps of the constellations
Waiting for the hookup
When you come to rescue those who look up
Oh....
Earthbound parents, earthbound schools
They don't understand just what it is I fear
They try to make me fit the world
They try to tell me there's no getting out of here
Try to tell me there's no getting out
But I'm turning my transmitter on
And aiming it beyond the moon
And hope to hear a voice say they've picked up my call
They're coming soon...
Ford and Arthur, Jason Nesmith
I am calling, can you hear this?
I was down here listening all the time
And you will bring me home
And then I'll never be alone again yeah
I was down here listening
Oh yeah I was down here listening
Oh yeah I am down here listening all the time
