Now they've sent me up to a thousand miles
To take observation photographs
It is lights going on and off
Can you make out where?
Wait a minute
It's six thousand miles
That's six thousand miles?
A candle in the window
Wait a minute!
What are you looking at me like that for?
The light's going on and off
In the window
It is lights going on and off
Can you make out where?

The most famous name in glass
Before and after opening
500 million miles out in the cold black depths of space
A small rocket scout blasts across the invisible path
Marking the orbit of Jupiter on course to Earth
Rocket Scout 4J-9 from Space Station M-5 go ahead
Tom - call Astro and tell him to cut speed to one quarter
Aye, sir
Patrol deck to paradeck, check in
Bits are off, Astro - one quarter space-speed
(And then two)
Aye sir
...And, two days later
Around the corner and down the street
And up a hall and through a gate
And up a walk
And through a door...

Sit in this seat beside me
Face these ivory dials
And I'll take you on a little ride through time
Time is only a kind of space
I was quite certain he was mad
And I wasn't alone
That's how his guests talked about him
Behind his back
They would politely smile
And understandably nod their heads
Independent scholars
And other men of distinction
This framework made of quartz
And bronze and ivory
With its levers and it's dials
And it's seats in the middle...
Sit in this seat beside me
Face these ivory dials
And I'll take you on a little ride through time
Time is only a kind of space

Do you realize
The intensity of this?
302.8 on an Omicron Scale
Now you see what I mean
Now watch
The intensity - the broadcast
Omicron Scale
302.8 - yes
On an Omicron Scale
The directional fix
On the broadcast now
We've picked up an alien spaceship
And they've gotten our message
302.8 on an Omicron Scale

Space Station M-5

In the narrow cylindrical cockpit, forward
Near the nose of the silvery ship
The pilot transmits a routine teleceiver call across the void
The sleepy-eyed operator shakes himself awake
As the call crackles in his earphones
The Most Famous Name... In Glass
Both Before and After Opening... In Glass
And then they saw the big fire and heard the big sound
As the silver rocket shot up towards Mars
And left them behind on an ordinary Monday morning

I hope my wings look beautiful tonight
East of September
Relapsing into a bovine abnormality
East of September
We do not know beforehand
East of September
Where fundamental insects will rise
East of September
East of September East of September
Our mysterious and lovely solar system
East of September
Conventional ideas are over now
East of September
East of September East of September
Now they sent me up to a thousand miles

Not Very Far From Algol
03:56

On February twenty second
Nineteen hundred and one
A marvelous new star was discovered
We shall meet again
Perhaps in the shadowy mist of Orion's sword
Perhaps on a bleak plateau in prehistoric Asia
Not very far from Algol
No star had been visible
At that point before
Within 24 hours the stranger had become so bright
We shall meet again
Perhaps in unremembered dreams tonight
Perhaps not very far from Algol

Limpid Green Minneapolis, Minnesota
Our music always starts as impromptu sketches. Sometimes we embellish them by mixing and matching clips or by adding found-
sounds. Lyrical content comes from out-of-context dialog of many diverse sources.
Greg Mathieson
guitars, synths, bass, electronics, devices, mixing, post-production
Bernard Olson
drums & percussives, synths, electronics, mixing

Limpid Green recommends:
This is Bat Lenny's last album, released in 2009. Another one seems unlikely, but you never know.
go to album
This is Stegor's latest album, a diverse mix ranging from lo-fi experiments to faux-classical soundtracks to collaborations to DIY Prog-Rock silliness. Stegor is 1/2 of Limpid Green, 1/3 of Bat Lenny.
