"Moons of Jupiter [Proto-Mix]" Lyrics

(s. drinkwater/j. gamache)

remotely photograph your surface
some fuzzy images start streaming back to me
my critics claim I waste my money
but I suspect there's something in that frozen sea

my cameras go collect the data
my team of scientists start combing through results
so far the news is disappointing
so far my theory has only proven false
are you in there? (2x)

I think you are the moons of jupiter
I think there's something hiding underneath the ice
I thought that if I sent a satellite
that I would find a new and unknown form of life

it's true I'm running out of funding
it's true that time becomes a factor in these hours
I try to keep my teammates focused
I must inspire as enthusiasm sours

sometimes I turn my back on science
this night I silently recite some sort of prayer
I thought I'd hear a heartbeat if I'd listen close
so deep in space but now I wonder, are you there
are you in there (2x)

I think you are the moons of jupiter
I think there's something hiding underneath the ice
I thought that if I sent a satellite
that I would find a new and unknown form of life

I am safe on earth (I am safe on earth)
(6x)

I thought you were the moons of jupiter
I thought that something hid beneath the icy face
so vast, so beautiful, mysterious
a silent giant hanging in the cold of space
I couldn't find you even though you know I tried (4x)
