He's in a room
He sees the floor
He sees the wall
He sees the roof
He sees the door
It's nine thirty-eight
So he goes up to the door
and he finds himself in another room
identical to the one before
The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
So he goes out of that room
but he finds himself in a parallel room
a mirror image of the one before
He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the door
He hits the door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He throws it at the roof
He breaks a hole
He climbs out
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
He sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
set in a black cardboard dome
He climbs out
He sees the stars, he sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
set in a black cardboard dome
He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the roof
He hits the dome
He hits the dome
Condemned
This house
This house is
This house is
Is this house
This house
Is this house
Fill in housing form
Buy one clock
Time again
Sort housing papers
Still nine thirty-eight
Two thousand years from now
it will still be ticking
He hits the floor
Wall, roof, door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He hits the dome
Door, wall
Space, floor
Time
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
for some romantic reason
Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof
This is one small step for mankind
one giant leap for man

We have lift-off
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
he sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
for some romantic reason
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
he sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth
Space, time, place, condensed
Space, time, place, condemned
