lyrics
Well, the video went funny, so I called up my assistant in despair.
She told me not to worry; there was something, maybe static, in the air.
Suddenly the 'phone went dead. I slammed it down and gazed into the street
Where the mob was gathering in mid-November, shirt-sleeved in the heat.
Until now it seemed that hardly anyone believed the end was near -
But I had known for months that there was something wrong outside the atmosphere.
Sick of endless summer with its power failure, illnesses and drought,
The Space Bureau was ransacked and my scientific secret was out.
Sol Nova - and it's all over for Earthlings.
Sol Nova - is it all over for me?
All the people in the know had wisely taken care of Number One -
For only way beyond cold, barren Pluto was there shelter from the sun.
For days and weeks in screaming heat was murder, burning, pillaging and rape.
Still the spaceships were made ready for the few who with me would escape.
Sol Nova - and it's all over for Earthlings.
Sol Nova - is it all over for me?
Outside on the launching pad, I hear the roaring of the hyperdrive,
And if someone doesn't find me soon, I'll lose out on my one chance to survive.
See, in the spaceport penthouse suite, I packed my things, rejoicing in my luck,
But in the lift between the first and second floor, the bloody thing got stuck.
Sol Nova - and it's all over for Earthlings.
Sol Nova - and it's all over for me
