From the recording All Systems Are Go
Yes folks, the intro is actual Nasa audio from a space shuttle launch. We loved the new technology of the 80s-especially those synth drums! And how about that guitar solo by the great Bob Somma!
Do you read? This is ground control.
Departure time is near!
And soon, you and I are leaving here!
Now approaching the zero hour,
The final count-down's on.
Look up! Any day now we'll be gone!
All systems are go, all systems are go
All systems are go, all systems are go
What a night for a serenade,
Upon a distant star!
I know that one of them is ours.
T minus 10, and the world we're in
Will slowly fade from view,
And I'll spend eternity with you!
All systems are go, all systems are go
All systems are go, all systems are go
Do you read? This is ground control
No time to say goodbye.
Look up…. in a twinkling of an eye
