Song Lyrics: |
The most inspirational scientist of the 20th Century gets the ballad treatment. Raise a glass to Carl Sagan! (Featuring Cal Frontier and the Tone-Deaf Caroleers.)
lyrics The Ballad of Carl Sagan
He was born and raised in Brooklyn where he wondered ‘bout the stars Insatiably curious about this universe of ours Universe of ours, universe of ours Everywhere he went he always tried to understand The mysteries of the stars and the conundrum that is man Conundrum that is man, conundrum that is man Straight outta Brooklyn like a comet to the stars Carl’s mind wandered from this pale blue dot of ours
He had ideas about the planets that tested quite well Launched a bunch of missions when he worked with JPL Worked with JPL, worked JPL Mariner, Galileo, Viking, Voyager 1 and 2 He even lent a hand to the manned mission to the moon Manned mission to the moon, manned mission to the moon Straight outta Brooklyn like a comet to the stars Carl’s mind wandered from this pale blue dot of ours
He went on TV and pointed to the sky Said we’re probably not alone but need a skeptical eye Need a skeptical eye, need a skeptical eye He used Drake’s equation to calculate the chance That somewhere there’s a planet with impressive intelligence Impressive intelligence, impressive intelligence Straight outta Brooklyn like a comet to the stars Carl’s mind wandered from this pale blue dot of ours
For a man who spent such time with his eyes fixed above He kept his two feet planted on the planet that he loved Planet that he loved, planet that he loved Carl surely proved that a skeptical mind Could still be filled wonder and the mysteries of mankind Mysteries of mankind, mysteries of mankind Straight outta Brooklyn like a comet to the stars Carl’s mind wandered from this pale blue dot of ours (Tim P. Ryan) |
