All the telescopes look back at us, and all the microscopes peer back up into our eyes!

lyrics

Telescopes

All the telescopes look back at us, back at us
And all the microscopes peer up into our eyes
They peer back up into our eyes
See through our thin disguise
And our need to know what's going on

We’ve got to m,m,m,m,measure everything
M,m,m,m,measure everything
And when we’re looking out, we're really looking in
And when we're looking in, we're really looking out
And I have no doubt
That in the end
It won't mean a thing
When we are gone
When we’re all gone

All the telescopes look back at us, back at us
And all the microscopes peer up into our eyes
They peer back up into our eyes
See through our thin disguise
And our need to know what's going on

We’ve got to m,m,m,m,measure everything
M,m,m,m,measure everything
Amd when we’re looking out we're really looking in
And when we're looking in we're really looking out
And I don't know
Why can't we just be content
Not to care what anything meant
And to stand beside
The ocean
And just gaze out
Just gaze out
Just gaze out,
