Late last night the midnight movie

Went out in a blaze of clichés

A cultured voice whispered goodnight

And suggested I switch off the set

Well my eyes felt so heavy, the sofa so warm

That I slept till the static awoke me

And there on the screen, such as I've never seen

Was a girl strange and beautiful, smiling.

Well I looked in amazement, she gazed at me, so intent

Was her expression and then

She spoke oh so frail in technical detail

Of her world so that someone might hear

Well science is inexcusably intricate

Love is rewardingly simple

She smiled tenderly, looking so heavenly

That I longed to be way out in space with . .

Then she said 'goodbye' and though vainly I tried

To say 'stay', the picture broke up

I'm a little too late to communicate

For the distance is too great between us

It's all of two million light years . . .
