Around the Universe in Eighty Days Lyrics

Around The Universe In Eighty Days
(Dee Long)
Come aboard my ship, I've something to show you
Some new equipment to take us where we're going
A subspace machine, a hole in the fabric
Of the very being of the universe

Ignition
Atomic power on
We must break our orbit and soar right past the planets
It took man a million years
To make it only this far
And we'll leave the solar system very soon...

Around the universe in eighty days
Sit down I think you'll like it out in space
There's nothing left to stop us now
We're sure to win the race
(Sure to win the race...)

In our warp where time and space are one
We can no longer see the sun
In fact there's nothing there for us to see
For light is nowhere near as fast as we

Our computer says we've exceeded expectations
When we reach our departure point there will be celebrations
What this means is our existence no longer has a limit
The universe will be our new home

Now the earth is just beginning to learn of our existence
All life in space must learn to live as one
Maybe now is the time for friendship with out neighbors
For our planet is the second from the sun

Around the universe in eighty days
Sit down I think you'll like it out in space
There's nothing left to stop us now
We're sure to win the race
(Sure to win the race...)

Klaatu was a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1973 and disbanded in 1982. Members John Woloschuk, Dee Long and Terry Draper lived in Toronto. They released five studio albums, the most famous of which is the 1976 debut 3:47 EST (AKA Klaatu), which, due to a rumor started by a DJ, was believed by some to be a front for new work by the Beatles. The album's artwork contained no credits for the performers, and there were at times vocal similarities with Lennon and McCartney. That album's song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" became a hit when covered by carpenters. As the Beatle rumors subsided, subsequent albums garnered diminishing sales, and the fourth album, Endangered Species (1980), was produced by LA studio musicians with very little input from the band. Their last album, Magentalane (1981), was a return to the band's form (though on a smaller scale, without the elaborate orchestrations which characterized their first albums), but was never released in the US.

Klaatu was named after Michael Rennie's character in the classic science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). The band has reunited a number of times since their breakup for small-scale live performances. Read more on Last.fm.
