1Center of It AllYouTube
Ba-da-da-da-dum (ba-da-da-da-dum)
Ba-da-da-da-dum (ooh-ooh)
Ba-da-da-da-dum (ba-da-da-da-dum)
Shining on! (shining on!)
Woke up this morning, golden light (golden light)
Pouring down from the oldest sight
Been burning long before we had a name
But every world still feels that flame (feels that flame)
Ninety-threee million miles of space
But the warmth still finds your face
Eight worlds spinning, and they all know why (all know why)
There's only one fire in the sky
You're the center of it all (center of it all)
Every sunrise, every fall
Pulling us closer, holding us tight
Center of it all — you're the light
(You're the light, you're the light, you're the li-i-ight)
A million seasons come and gone (doo-doo-doo)
But the big star keeps singing its song
They wrote your story in the ancient books (ooh-ooh)
But all you gotta do is look
From Mercury's shore to Pluto's edge
Every orbit is a pledge
Eight worlds spinning, and they all agree (all agree)
There's nowhere else they'd rather be
You're the center of it all (center of it all)
Every sunrise, every fall
Pulling us closer, holding us tight
Center of it all — you're the light
(You're the light, you're the light, you're the li-i-ight)
Solar winds are singing (ahhh-ahhh)
And the corona's ringing out (ringing out)
Like a chord that never ends (never ends)
And if you ever lose your way (ba-da-da)
Just look up to the break of day (ba-da-da)
The sun'll bring you home again
Every photon is a little song (little song)
Took eight minutes but it traveled long
And when it hits the water, hits the sand (ooh)
It's like the sun is reaching out its hand
So here's to the star that started it all (started it all)
The biggest heart, the brightest call
You're the center of it all (center of it all)
Every sunrise, every fall
Pulling us closer, holding us tight
Center of it all — you're the light
(You're the light!) You're the center of it all
(You're the light!) Every sunrise, every fall
(Shining on!) Center of it all —
You're the light
Ba-da-da-da-dum (ba-da-da-da-dum)
(Shining on!) Ba-da-da-da-dum
(You're the light…)
Ba-da-da-da-dum (ooh-ooh)
Ba-da-da-da-dum (ba-da-da-da-dum)
Shining on! (shining on!)
Woke up this morning, golden light (golden light)

2Mercury Fly-ByYouTube
Go go go go! (go go go go!)
Bop-bop-ba-da-bop! (bop-bop-ba-da-bop!)
Eighty-eight days and he's back around (back around!)
The fastest little world that's ever been found
Burning on one side, freezing on the other
Sun-kissed baby, he's a troublemaker brother (ooh-ooh!)
No atmosphere to slow him down
Just a cratered face and a Mercury frown
He don't stop, he don't wait (don't wait!)
First in line at the solar gate
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
Catch him if you can! (if you can!)
Zipping 'round the sun like a hot little man
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
Blink and he's gone (ba-da-da-da-dum)
Eighty-eight days and he's moving on!
The Romans named him for the messenger god (messenger god!)
Wings on his heels, now isn't that odd (doo-doo-doo)
'Cause he's the one who's always in a rush
Morning star, evening star — gone in a hush (ooh!)
A thousand degrees when you face the sun
But turn around and the cold has won
He don't stop, he don't stay (don't stay!)
Fastest thing in the Milky Way
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
Catch him if you can! (if you can!)
Zipping 'round the sun like a hot little man
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
Blink and he's gone (ba-da-da-da-dum)
Eighty-eight days and he's moving on!
(Slow it down just a breath)
Little planet, you don't get much love (much love)
Too close to the fire up above (ahhh-ahhh)
But there's beauty in the way you run
A silver streak against the sun (against the sun)
Mariner Ten took his photograph (photograph!)
Caught that crater face and we had to laugh (ba-da-ba)
Iron core beating like a heart of steel (ooh-ooh)
The toughest little planet on the inner wheel
So if you see him in the twilight sky (twilight sky!)
Wave fast — he's already flying by!
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
Catch him if you can! (if you can!)
Zipping 'round the sun like a hot little man
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
Blink and he's gone!
Mercury fly-by! (fly-by!)
He's moving on!
Mercury fly-by! (go go go go!)
He's gone!

3Venus in the EveningYouTube
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ahhh-ahhh (ahhh-ahhh)
Venus… (Venus in the evening)
There she is in the western sky (western sky)
First one out when the sun says goodbye
Brighter than anything else up there (ooh-ooh)
Wrapped in clouds like she just doesn't care
They named her for the goddess of love
And when you see her — that's enough
You can't touch her, can't get near (can't get near)
But oh, she's beautiful from here
Venus in the evening (Venus in the evening)
Shining through the haze
Venus in the morning (Venus in the morning)
Stealing all my gaze
Underneath those clouds there's a heart of fire
Venus in the evening — takes me higher
(Takes me higher, ooh-ooh-ooh)
She spins backwards, did you know that? (doo-doo-doo)
Like she's dancing to her own format
A day that's longer than her year (longer than her year)
Time moves different when you're way out here
And the pressure on her surface, love
Would crush you — but you can't help looking up
You can't hold her, can't break through (break through)
But oh, the things that she can do
Venus in the evening (Venus in the evening)
Shining through the haze
Venus in the morning (Venus in the morning)
Stealing all my gaze
Underneath those clouds there's a heart of fire
Venus in the evening — takes me higher
(Takes me higher, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sister planet, almost the same size (ahhh)
But so different underneath those skies (ahhh)
Sulfur seas and a golden glow (golden glow)
The most beautiful thing we'll never know (never know)
And maybe that's what makes it right (ooh-ooh)
The loveliest mystery in the night (in the night)
Galileo watched her phases change (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And proved the heavens could be rearranged
But even he, with his telescope eyes (telescope eyes)
Couldn't see past her disguise
So I'll just stand here in the fading day
And let her light show me the way
Venus in the evening (Venus in the evening)
Shining through the haze
Venus in the morning (Venus in the morning)
Stealing all my gaze
Underneath those clouds there's a heart of fire
Venus in the evening…
(ooh-ooh-ooh… ahhh-ahhh…)
Venus in the evening…
(Takes me higher…)
Venus… (Venus…)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)

4The Blue OneYouTube
Mmm-mmm-mmm (mmm-mmm-mmm)
Ooh… (the blue one)
Mmm-mmm-mmm (mmm-mmm-mmm)
Third rock from the sun, nothing special on the chart (ooh-ooh)
Just the right distance — that's how it got its start
A little water, a little air
And somehow, somehow, life was there (life was there)
And it looked out at the stars one night
And wondered if it was alone in all that light
Of all the worlds we'll ever see (ever see)
This is the one that learned to dream
The blue one (the blue one)
Spinning in the dark
The blue one (the blue one)
With an ocean for a heart
Every song, every prayer, every story ever told
Started on the blue one — out in the cold
(Out in the cold, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mountains that took a million years to rise (doo-doo-doo)
Sunsets painted on a hundred billion eyes
Tides that answer to the moon above (to the moon above)
The only world we know that learned to love
And maybe from a thousand light-years gone
It's just a tiny dot — but what a dot to carry on
Of all the worlds that spin and fall (spin and fall)
This is the one that sang for all
The blue one (the blue one)
Spinning in the dark
The blue one (the blue one)
With an ocean for a heart
Every song, every prayer, every story ever told
Started on the blue one — out in the cold
(Out in the cold, ooh-ooh-ooh)
They say that astronauts look down and cry (ahhh-ahhh)
No borders from that high (that high)
Just blue and white and green and gold (ooh-ooh)
The most beautiful thing they'd ever hold
And you can't hold it — you can only love it (love it)
From below it, or above it (above it)
And isn't that enough
One day maybe we'll be far from here (far from here)
And the blue one will be just a memory, dear (ooh-ooh-ooh)
A story that our children's children tell
About the little world that did so well (did so well)
But wherever we go, across the black
I think we'll always want to find our way back
To the blue one (the blue one)
Spinning in the dark
The blue one (the blue one)
With an ocean for a heart
Every song, every prayer, every story ever told
Started on the blue one…
(The blue one… ooh-ooh-ooh)
The blue one…
(The blue one…)
(Outro — voices layering, almost like a hymn:)
Ooh… the blue one (the blue one)
Mmm-mmm-mmm (mmm-mmm-mmm)

Ooh… (the blue one)
Mmm-mmm-mmm (mmm-mmm-mmm)

5Moonlight on My MindYouTube
Mm-mm-mm (mm-mm-mm)
Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Mm-mm-mm (mm-mm-mm)
Moonlight… (moonlight…)
She doesn't make her own light, but she doesn't mind (doesn't mind)
She borrows from the sun and makes it soft and kind
A quarter million miles but she feels so near (feels so near)
The closest thing to home when you're out here (ooh-ooh)
And every night she's changing, but she always comes back round
The most familiar face above the ground
And when the world gets dark and hard to see (hard to see)
She shows up — quietly
Moonlight on my mind (moonlight on my mind)
Gentle as the tides you pull behind
Moonlight on my mind (moonlight on my mind)
The sweetest light that I could ever find
You've been watching over us since the very start (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Moonlight on my mind — and in my heart
(In my heart… ooh-ooh…)
They say a long time back, something hit the Earth so hard (so hard)
It broke a piece of her and flung it toward the stars (doo-doo-doo)
And that piece became the moon up in the sky (up in the sky)
Born from a collision — what a way to fly (ooh-ooh)
And ever since that day she hasn't left our side
Earth's daughter, Earth's companion, Earth's nightlight and her guide
And when the oceans rise and when they fall (when they fall)
That's the moon — still answering the call
Moonlight on my mind (moonlight on my mind)
Gentle as the tides you pull behind
Moonlight on my mind (moonlight on my mind)
The sweetest light that I could ever find
You've been watching over us since the very start (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Moonlight on my mind — and in my heart
(In my heart… ooh-ooh…)
And then one July night we climbed aboard (ahhh…)
And crossed the dark like no one had before (no one before)
And a boot came down in the silver dust (ooh-ooh)
And she held us — like she'd always known she must (always known)
And we looked back at the Earth, so blue, so small (ahhh…)
And the moon was where we stood to see it all (see it all)
She'd been waiting (she'd been waiting)
She'd been waiting all along
(All along… all along…)
Every love song, every lullaby, every prayer at night (prayer at night)
Has been sung beneath the same old silver light (doo-doo-doo)
And the craters on her face are like the lines upon a friend (ooh-ooh)
Who's seen it all and loves you in the end (loves you in the end)
So when the album's done and all the planets fade away
The moon's still there — she never needs to stay
Moonlight on my mind (moonlight on my mind)
Gentle as the tides you pull behind
Moonlight on my mind (moonlight on my mind)
The sweetest light that I could ever find
You've been watching over us since the very start (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Moonlight on my mind…
(Moonlight on my mind…)

The sky is butterscotch at the break of day (break of day!)
Sunset's blue — yeah, Mars does it the opposite way

Olympus Mons is taller than anything we've known (doo-doo-doo)
The biggest mountain standing on a world of stone
Valles Marineris cuts a canyon so deep (so deep!)
Like the planet cracked open in its sleep
And maybe there was water, maybe there was rain (ooh-ooh)
Maybe Mars remembers what it's like to feel that way
Doesn't matter what was there before (there before!)
We're coming knocking on that dusty door
Red planet ride (red planet ride!)
Dust in your eyes and the sun's open wide
Red planet ride (red planet ride!)
Phobos on the left and Deimos on the right
We've been dreaming about you every single night
Red planet ride — let's go!
(Let's go! Let's go! Bah-bah-bah!)
Little rovers left their tracks across your face (ahhh-ahhh)
Like love letters written in a lonely place (lonely place)
And we watched from home on our tiny screens (ooh-ooh)
Driving on Mars inside our dreams (inside our dreams)
But someday boots are gonna hit that ground
And oh — what a beautiful sound
The sky is butterscotch at the break of day (break of day!)
Sunset's blue — yeah, Mars does it the opposite way
And the gravity's light so you're walking tall (walking tall!)
King of the crater, ruler of it all
So raise a glass of recycled water, friend (doo-doo-doo)
The red planet ride never has to end!
Red planet ride (red planet ride!)
Dust in your eyes and the sun's open wide
Red planet ride (red planet ride!)
Phobos on the left and Deimos on the right
We've been dreaming about you every single night
Red planet ride!
(Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah!)
Red planet ride!
(Let's go! Let's go!)
Red planet ride!
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah! (bah-bah-bah-bah-bah!)
(Let's go!)
7Watch Out for the RocksYouTube
Rock rock rock! (rock rock rock!)
Ba-da-da-da — watch out! (watch out!)
Rock rock rock! (rock rock rock!)
Ba-da-da-da — watch out for the rocks!
Left Mars behind and we're feeling fine (feeling fine!)
Jupiter's ahead but there's no straight line
'Cause between the two there's a traffic jam (traffic jam!)
A billion chunks of rock that don't give a — watch out! (watch out!)
Spinning and tumbling every which way
It's the solar system's craziest highway!
Big ones, small ones, some the size of Texas! (ooh!)
Leftovers from a planet that never got to be
(Never got to be! Aww!)
Watch out for the rocks! (watch out for the rocks!)
Dodging left and dodging right around the clock
Watch out for the rocks! (watch out for the rocks!)
Vesta! Pallas! Ceres! (ba-da-da-dum!)
Nobody steers us!
Watch out for the rocks!
(Rock rock rock! Rock rock rock!)
Ceres is the big one, she's almost round (almost round!)
Dwarf planet queen with a rocky crown
But the rest of 'em are wild and weird (doo-doo-doo)
Shaped like potatoes, shaped like — hey, watch it! (watch it!)
Tumbling and bumbling through the black
Bounce off one and you ain't coming back!
Millions of 'em, stretching miles wide (ooh!)
But honestly there's so much space you'd sail right by
(Sail right by! Huh!)
Watch out for the rocks! (watch out for the rocks!)
Dodging left and dodging right around the clock
Watch out for the rocks! (watch out for the rocks!)
Vesta! Pallas! Ceres! (ba-da-da-dum!)
Nobody steers us!
Watch out for the rocks!
(Rock rock rock! Rock rock rock!)
You know, Jupiter wanted a little brother (ahhh-ahhh)
But his gravity wouldn't let 'em come together (come together)
So they just keep spinning, never quite a world (ooh-ooh)
A billion little diamonds never strung into a pearl
(Never strung into a pearl… aww)
BUT HEY — (rock rock rock!)
If you're flying through, keep your eyes peeled wide (eyes peeled wide!)
It's the wildest roller coaster ride
Some of 'em got iron, some got ice (got ice!)
Some of 'em are naughty, none of 'em are nice
They've been crashing into each other since the dawn of time (dawn of time!)
And they still haven't learned to stay in line!
Watch out for the rocks! (watch out for the rocks!)
Dodging left and dodging right around the clock
Watch out for the rocks! (watch out for the rocks!)
Vesta! Pallas! Ceres! (ba-da-da-dum!)
Nobody steers us!
Watch out for the rocks!

8King of EverythingYouTube
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ahhh… (ahhh…)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Here he comes… (here he comes…)
You see him rising and you hold your breath (hold your breath)
The biggest thing this side of life and death
A thousand Earths could fit inside his frame (inside his frame!)
And still he'd have room to spare for rain
Stripes of gold and stripes of red and white
The heaviest beauty in the lightest night
And when the ancient people saw him glow (saw him glow)
They knew — they named him for the king they know
Jupiter! (Jupiter!)
King of everything that spins
Jupiter! (Jupiter!)
Where the clouds are thick as sin
Got a storm that's been raging for a thousand years (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Jupiter — and he's still right here!
(Still right here, ba-da-da-dum!)
Sixty-some moons all dancing in his light (in his light!)
Io's burning, Ganymede's a sight (doo-doo-doo)
He pulls the comets off their killing course
The silent guardian, the gravity force (gravity force!)
And every rock that might have done us wrong
Jupiter says — move along, move along
He doesn't brag, he doesn't boast (doesn't boast)
He's just the one that matters most
Jupiter! (Jupiter!)
King of everything that spins
Jupiter! (Jupiter!)
Where the clouds are thick as sin
Got a storm that's been raging for a thousand years (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Jupiter — and he's still right here!
(Still right here, ba-da-da-dum!)
The Great Red Spot is an eye that never closes (ahhh-ahhh)
Watching over everything below (everything below)
And if you flew into those clouds you'd fall forever (ooh-ooh)
Through the hydrogen and the helium snow (helium snow)
Deeper, deeper, where the pressure turns to diamond (ahhh-ahhh)
And the lightning's bigger than a world (than a world)
And you'd think — how can something be so mighty
And so beautiful, unfurled
(So beautiful… so beautiful…)
When Galileo turned his lens that night (that night!)
He saw four little moons in Jupiter's light (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And everything we thought we knew came down
The Earth was not the center — just a town (just a town)
And Jupiter was out there all along
The king who taught us we were wrong
He doesn't ask, he doesn't call (doesn't call)
He just holds the sky up for us all
Jupiter! (Jupiter!)
King of everything that spins
Jupiter! (Jupiter!)
Where the clouds are thick as sin
Got a storm that's been raging for a thousand years (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Jupiter — and he's still right here!
(Jupiter!) King of everything!
(Jupiter!) Can you feel him swing!
(Jupiter!) Got a storm that won't let go —
Jupiter — put on a show!
Vistas cascading, majestic, slowly layering down
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Jupiter…)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (king of everything…)

9Under the IceYouTube
Ooh… (ooh…)
Ooh… (ooh…)
Under the ice… (under the ice…)
Ooh… (ooh…)
Far from the sun there's a frozen face (frozen face)
Cracked like a mirror out in the darkest place
Jupiter's daughter, quiet and cold (quiet and cold)
But underneath she's keeping a secret centuries old
Lines on her surface like a map with no key (ooh-ooh)
Something is written there that no one can read
And if you pressed your ear against the ground (against the ground)
Would you hear it? Would you hear the sound?
Under the ice (under the ice)
There's an ocean no one's ever seen
Under the ice (under the ice)
Something's moving in between
Miles and miles of water, dark and wide (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Under the ice — there's a world inside
(A world inside… a world inside…)
No sunlight reaches where the water flows (water flows)
But the tides still pull where Jupiter goes
And the heat comes up from the core below (from below)
Volcanic vents in the midnight glow (ooh-ooh)
And if life found a way down in the black
It wouldn't need the sun — imagine that
And if we sent a little submarine (submarine)
What would it find? What would it mean?
Under the ice (under the ice)
There's an ocean no one's ever seen
Under the ice (under the ice)
Something's moving in between
Miles and miles of water, dark and wide (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Under the ice — there's a world inside
(A world inside… a world inside…)
What if they're swimming down there now (ahhh… ahhh…)
Little lives that never learned the sky (never learned the sky)
What if they're singing songs we'll never hear (ooh-ooh)
In a language made of chemistry (made of chemistry)
No eyes to see, no hands to wave (ahhh… ahhh…)
Just the rhythm of the thermal caves (thermal caves)
And they don't know we're up here wondering
And we don't know they're down there — but what if (ooh…)
What if… (what if…)
Arthur C. Clarke said leave Europa alone (all alone)
But I think curiosity's in our bones (in our bones)
And someday we'll drill through the frozen shell (frozen shell)
And find out if there's someone there to tell (ooh-ooh-ooh)
But tonight I'll just look up and wonder, dear
At the quietest moon of the Jupiter sphere
Under the ice (under the ice)
There's an ocean no one's ever seen
Under the ice (under the ice)
Something's moving in between
Miles and miles of water, dark and wide (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Under the ice…

There's a world inside…

10Ringing Around SaturnYouTube
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Round and round! (round and round!)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Round and round and round!
Pull up to the prettiest planet in the sky (in the sky!)
Golden bands are spinning and you can't look away, don't try
A billion bits of ice all catching the light (catching the light!)
Like a jukebox made of diamonds on a Saturday night
Lean back, take it in, don't be in a rush (ooh-ooh)
Saturn doesn't hurry — Saturn's got the touch
Every planet's got a thing, that's true (that's true!)
But nobody — nobody — does it like you
Ringin' around Saturn (ringin' around Saturn!)
Grooving to the spin
Ringin' around Saturn (ringin' around Saturn!)
Let the good times in
Ice and rock in perfect harmony (ooh-ooh-ooh!)
Ringin' around Saturn — come and ring with me!
(Ring with me! Doo-doo-doo!)
She's lighter than water, can you believe that? (believe that!)
Drop her in the ocean and she'd float like an old straw hat (doo-doo-doo)
But those rings stretch out wider than you'd ever guess (ever guess!)
A hundred thousand miles of cosmic finesse
Cassini took a bow and said goodnight (said goodnight)
Dove into the clouds at the speed of light
Every planet's got its charm, it's true (it's true!)
But honey — honey — we keep coming back to you
Ringin' around Saturn (ringin' around Saturn!)
Grooving to the spin

Titan's got an ocean underneath the haze (ahhh-ahhh)
Enceladus is shooting geysers into space (into space!)
But Mama Saturn just keeps spinning slow (spinning slow)
Wearing all her jewels to the cosmic show (ooh-ooh)
And we're all just standing here with our jaws on the floor
Saying baby — give us more, give us more, give us more!
The gaps between the rings all got their names (got their names!)
Cassini Division playing ring-shaped games
And when the light comes through at just the right angle (right angle!)
Every little ice chunk is a star that's been tangled
So if you're ever flying by and you've got the time (got the time!)
Park it by the rings and watch the universe shine

Doo-dee-doo (doo-dee-doo)
Dee-doo-dee (dee-doo-dee)
Doo-dee-doo (doo-dee-doo)
He's sideways! (he's sideways!)
Every other planet stands up nice and tall (nice and tall!)
But there's one that's rolling like a big blue ball
Tipped right over on his side one day (on his side!)
And just decided — hey, I like it this way (doo-dee-doo)
North pole facing right into the sun
While the south pole's got a hundred years of none
Nobody knows just what went wrong (what went wrong!)
But maybe nothing — maybe he planned it all along
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Spinning like nobody else
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Doing it all by himself
Blue-green ice in a diamond rain (doo-dee-doo-dee-doo)
Sideways world — a little bit strange
(A little bit strange! A little bit strange!)
His moons are named for poetry and plays (ooh-ooh)
Ariel, Oberon — take a bow, Shakespeare, take your praise
Titania's dancing in the pale blue light (pale blue light!)
Miranda's got a cliff that'll give you a fright (dee-doo-dee)
Twelve miles straight down, the tallest drop in space
On a tiny frozen moon with a fractured face
Nobody planned this neighborhood (neighborhood!)
But honestly — it's pretty good
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Spinning like nobody else
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Doing it all by himself
Blue-green ice in a diamond rain (doo-dee-doo-dee-doo)
Sideways world — a little bit strange
(A little bit strange! A little bit strange!)
You know, sometimes the odd one out (ahhh-ahhh)
Is the one worth singing about (singing about)
And the planets all spin east to west (ooh-ooh)
But the sideways world knows best (knows best)
That there's more than just one way to turn (ahhh-ahhh)
And some of us had different things to learn
(Different things to learn… doo-dee-doo)
The atmosphere is quiet, cold, and clean (cold and clean!)
The calmest face the solar system's ever seen (doo-dee-doo)
But deep inside, the pressure squeezes tight (squeezes tight!)
And it rains diamonds through the endless night (ooh-ooh-ooh)
So don't judge a planet by its quiet face
The strangest world might be the most amazing place
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Spinning like nobody else
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Doing it all by himself

(Different things to learn… doo-dee-doo)
The atmosphere is quiet, cold, and clean (cold and clean!)
The calmest face the solar system's ever seen (doo-dee-doo)
But deep inside, the pressure squeezes tight (squeezes tight!)
And it rains diamonds through the endless night (ooh-ooh-ooh)
So don't judge a planet by its quiet face
The strangest world might be the most amazing place
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Spinning like nobody else
Sideways world (sideways world!)
Doing it all by himself
Blue-green ice in a diamond rain (doo-dee-doo-dee-doo)
Sideways world!
(Sideways world!) A little bit strange!
(Sideways world!) But that's okay!
(Sideways world!) We love you that way!
(Doo-dee-doo-dee-doo!)
Doo-dee-doo (he's sideways!)
Dee-doo-dee (he's sideways!)
Doo-dee-doo (doo-dee-doo)
(gently wobbles out)
12The Loneliest ColorYouTube
Ahhh… (ahhh…)
Ooh-ooh-ooh… (ooh-ooh-ooh…)
Ahhh… (ahhh…)
So far… (so far from home…)
Four billion miles from where the story starts (where it starts)
There's a blue so deep it breaks your heart
No one's ever touched him, no one's ever been (ever been)
Just Voyager passing through like a whisper on the wind (ooh-ooh)
And the photographs came back across the black
And we saw that blue — and we can't take it back
How can something so far away (far away)
Have so much left to say
Neptune blue (Neptune blue)
The loneliest color in the sky
Neptune blue (Neptune blue)
Too beautiful to pass you by
Winds are screaming but there's no one there to hear (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Neptune blue — I wish that I were near
(I wish that I were near… ahhh…)
Two thousand miles an hour, the fastest winds we know (winds we know)
But who are they performing for, so far below the glow (doo-doo-doo)
A diamond heart beneath the hydrogen haze (hydrogen haze)
A world that's been alone for all its days (ooh-ooh)
And Triton orbits backwards like a captured dream
A moon that wandered in from somewhere no one's seen
How can something so cold and far (cold and far)
Still shine like the loneliest star
Neptune blue (Neptune blue)
The loneliest color in the sky
Neptune blue (Neptune blue)
Too beautiful to pass you by
Winds are screaming but there's no one there to hear (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Neptune blue — I wish that I were near
(I wish that I were near… ahhh…)
You know, the sun from here is just another star (ahhh… ahhh…)
Just a pinprick in the dark, that's how far you are (how far you are)
And I think about the light that left the sun today (ooh-ooh)
It won't reach you for four hours on its way (on its way)
And by the time it touches your blue face (ahhh… ahhh…)
It's the oldest, softest, loneliest embrace (ooh-ooh)
But it still comes (it still comes)
It still comes (it still comes)
The light still comes for you
(The light still comes for you…)
They named you for the god who ruled the sea (ruled the sea)
And maybe that's as right as it could be (ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause oceans are the thing we understand the least
The beautiful, the dark, the silent beast (silent beast)
And out here, past the edge of what we know
There's a blue that just won't stop its glow
Neptune blue (Neptune blue)
The loneliest color in the sky
Neptune blue (Neptune blue)
Too beautiful to pass you by
Winds are screaming but there's no one there to hear (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Neptune blue…

I wish that I were near…

13Little PlutoYouTube
Hmm-hmm-hmm (hmm-hmm-hmm)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (hmm-hmm-hmm)
Little Pluto… (little Pluto…)
Out past everything, where the sun's a speck of dust (speck of dust)
There's a little frozen world on the edge of us
Smaller than the moon, smaller than you'd think (than you'd think)
But he's been there all along, right there on the brink (ooh-ooh)
Clyde Tombaugh found him on a photograph one day
A tiny dot of light that wouldn't go away
And for seventy-six years he wore the crown (wore the crown)
Then they held a vote — and they voted him down
(They voted him down… aww)
Little Pluto (little Pluto)
Way out on the edge of the night
Little Pluto (little Pluto)
You don't need a title to shine your light
They can call you what they want, it's fine with me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Little Pluto — you'll always be a planet to me
(A planet to me… a planet to me…)
His heart is on his surface, did you know that? (did you know?)
A heart-shaped plain of nitrogen, imagine that (doo-doo-doo)
A billion miles from anybody's gaze
And he's wearing his heart out in the open always (in the open)
And Charon's right beside him, face to face (face to face)
Two little worlds slow-dancing through space
And when New Horizons finally flew him by (flew him by)
We saw his face for the first time — and we cried
(And we cried… ooh…)
Little Pluto (little Pluto)

You don't need a title to shine your light

Little Pluto — you'll always be a planet to me
(A planet to me… a planet to me…)
You know, some of us know what it's like (ahhh…)
To be small and far away (far away)
To be told you're not enough (ooh-ooh)
On your very worst day (worst day)
But the stars don't care about the categories (ahhh…)
And the dark doesn't check the list (check the list)
And you've been orbiting for four billion years
You're not the kind of thing that can be dismissed
(Not dismissed… not dismissed…)
So here we are at the edge of everything we know (everything we know)
Past the last track, past the last familiar glow (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And there's little Pluto, quiet in the cold
The youngest name, on the oldest road (oldest road)
And if this is where the solar system ends
Well — I couldn't ask for a better friend
Little Pluto (little Pluto)
