Hoping for a hurricane to come Blowing through the scrapyard Assembling a zeppelin A zeppelin to escape in Fly to the edge Fly to the end of the world The only this is, (?) Monkeys have revealed the universe Maybe I'll evolve an eye to see the mysteries of this quirky life Maybe a thousand monkeys will type me a letter Explaining suns and stars Quarks and quasars How the universe is held together When the letter arrived I was just one line: It said "The universe is big and old and dark and cold." The universe is big and old and dark and cold
Doesn't need us No it doesn't need us Doesn't need us to exist Hoping for a hurricane to come blowing through the scrapyard Assembling an aeroplane An aeroplane to escape in Suns and stars, quarks and quasars Are all explained in the monkey's letter Maybe I'll evolve and eye to see the mysteries of this care free life When the letter arrived it was just one line It said "The universe is blind." Waiting for the hurricane Waiting for hurricane To come blow through the scrapyard Come blow! Come blow through the scrabyard Come blow!
