Probe II's Golden Message

Lyrics by Kip Loades

If anyone is out there
we have a message for you
it's on a golden record
so you can get to know Earth
in case you ever find it
well we may well be long dead
but you will know we were alive

My name is Voyager II
and I've got alot to tell you
I have seen a few things in my time
I am an unmanned space probe
on a Planetary Grand Tour
and I radio back what I find

On Jupiter I probed alot
I even probed its Great Red Spot
which was a complex storm
and it was info-porn
I thought my circuits would be shot

If anyone is out there
we have a message for you
it's on a golden record
so you can get to know Earth
in case you ever find it
well we may well be long dead
but you will know we were alive

Saturn was a cold spot
and the camera platform locked up
when I probed the upper atmosphere
I probed Neptune's dark spot
and I measured what its mass was
what was once obscure now is clear

The next stop was my greatest high
I probed Uranus for the first time
I found the strangest things
probing into the ring
Uranus was a wild ride

If anyone is out there
we have a message for you
it's on a golden record
so you can get to know Earth
in case you ever find it
well we may well be long dead
but you will know we were alive

Hello there
we're out here
we've got a message for you
Hello there
we're out here
it would be nice to know you
