There is a where that I'm sure you've heard of
A stair past the staircase above
Its name is space, it's a pretty cool place, though
Slightly less than absolute zero
Well the human race did a race to that place
And they landed on Mr. Moon's face
But years have passed, now we've got a cold case
So to save the world,
Into it we've been hurled
But it's a cold, dark universe
And studies show it's getting worse
We could cry, but all our tears would freeze
At 2.7 kelvin degrees
Yeah it's a cold, dark universe
Yet one we're destined to traverse
So put on a space suit, star-crossed
And be prepared to brave the frost
Flew by Venus clouded in acid rain
The home of John Coltrane
Some say there's life in the fog or the dust
But we checked, and our crew wasn't sus
Well, maybe, we're really alone out here
Should that be a comfort or a fear
Fermi was right, I think we'll be alright
But man, it's such a lonely sight
But it's a cold, dark universe
And studies show it's getting worse
We could cry, but all our tears would freeze
It's 2.7 kelvin degrees
Yeah it's a cold, dark universe
Yet one we're destined to traverse
So put on a space suit, star-crossed
And be prepared to brave the frost
Mercury, Mercury, in a hurry
Tell Mother to not worry
We'll run some tests, then we'll be back
Sailing 'cross the Ocean Black
Though curiosity killed Félicette
And we've got no other choice than it
In these desperate times I choose fight and flight
'Cause our desperate measure's fahrenheit
'Cause it's a cold, dark universe
And studies show it's getting worse
We could cry, but all our tears would freeze
It's 2.7 kelvin degrees
Yeah it's a cold, dark universe
Yet one we're destined to traverse
So put on a space suit, star-crossed
And be prepared to brave the frost
