Felt like posting these lyrics by Klaus Nomi, avant-garde German 'Space-Man' and 'Star-Man' who was here for a time to share Universal Truths and then went back to wherever he came from. To me, these words are very inspiring and eminently optimistic.
Well I told you about the total eclipse now
but still it caught you unaware
But I'm telling you hold on, hold on
Tomorrow we'll be there
And even though you went to church upon Sunday
you thought you didn't even have a prayer
But I'm telling you hold on, hold on
Tomorrow we'll be there
chorus
After the fall we'll be born, born, born again
after it all blows away
after the fall, after the fall
after it all blows away
We'll take a million years of civilization
We're gonna give it the electric chair
But I'm telling you hold on, hold on
Tomorrow we'll be there
I see a hundred million lonely mutants
they are glowing in their dark despair
But I'm telling you hold on, hold on
Tomorrow we'll be there
chorus
Well the freak shall inherit the earth now
No matter how well done or rare
But I'm telling you hold on, hold on
Tomorrow we'll be there
We'll build our radioactive castles
out in the radioactive air
And I'm telling you hold on, hold on
Tomorrow we'll be there
chorus
