Oh, my goodness. Don’t ask me what I was thinking, because I have no idea. I still kinda like the overall message, though.
Doofus (A Drowsy Revelation)
(spoken)
Well, it started when I was out at the edge of an Earthcore, lying on top of the car, and a bright white light barrelled through the night – I thought it was a shooting star! but it – it curved around the Saucepan – and it got as big and as bright as the sun – and it dropped right down beside me with a bang, like the shot of a gun…
Now the sign on the side of the spaceship said “Datsun 120Y”
And the transport hatch flew open, and out came this funky green guy
And he pushed back the hood of his parka, and he pulled off his headphones and said:
“Take me to your DJ, baby, I need to feed my head.”
I said “Where is the planet you come from?
“Are there many others like you?
“And is there a god in the heavens?
“And how do you do what you do?”
He said “I’m sorry, baby, I really only came to dance.
“No time to tell you – I travelled all this way to dance.”
Well I lost him somewhere on the dancefloor
when I lost myself in the beat
I started dancing around like a dufus
in the grip of the night and the heat
Let go of the past and the future
With the present evanescent and clear
And a woman came right up beside me
and she whispered these words in my ear:
She said “Where is the planet you come from?
“Are there many others like you?
“And is there a god in the heavens?
“And how do you do what you do?”
I said “I’m sorry, baby, I really only came to dance.
“No time to tell you – I travelled all this way to dance.”
Someday you’ll find yourself floating
You’ll cast yourself into the glow
With the galaxy dancing around you
In the ultimate answer you already know
that music and love are all that you need to be true
and the brightest star in the universe is you
yes, the brightest star in the universe is you…
so where is the planet you come from?
are there many others like you?
and is there a god in the heavens?
and how do you do what you do?
you know it, baby, we really only came to dance.
great god almighty, we travelled all this way to dance.
