… Frigid Tuesday morning, waiting for the winds to die
Shake the Magic 8 Ball ask if everything's all right
Outside the thermometer reads 31 degrees
Our families in the bleachers, bundled up so they don't freeze
… Filled with pride to watch their children fly
Eleven Thirty, Eastern Standard Time
… Into the great big blue
Into the great big blue, we want to take you
Into the great big blue (we want to take you)
Into the great big blue
… We skate across the launch-pad, anxious sled dogs on the ice
Tidal wave of darkness waits above the morning sky
Strapped onto the rocket, after multiple delays
Came down with Go Fever, after 6 or 7 days
… Lost in wonder, dreaming how it feels (how it feels)
Blasting off from NASA's frozen fields
… Into the great big blue
Into the great big blue, we want to take you
Into the great big blue (we want to take you)
Into the great big blue
… Isaac's laws of motion, coming true, right now
Classical mechanics start to take us down (we're going down)
Atlas holds the heavens a little too (Atlas holds the heavens too far) far out
Falling to his ocean, never to be found (we're going down, never to be found)
… Into the great big blue
Into the great big blue (we want to take you)
Into the great big blue
Into the great big blue
… Grey graffiti sprayed across the sky
Fall like streamers, eighteen miles high (we want to take you)
Grey graffiti sprayed across the sky
Fall like streamers, eighteen miles high
… blue, blue
