Jayne [From Andromeda Spiral] lyrics

Late last night the midnight movie

Went out in a blaze of clichés

A cultured voice whispered "goodnight"

And suggested I switch off the set

Well, my eyes felt so heavy, the sofa so warm

That I slept till the static awoke me

And there on the screen, such as I've never seen

Was a girl strange and beautiful, smiling

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Well, I looked in amazement, she gazed at me, so intent

Was her expression and then

She spoke oh so frail in technical detail

Of her world, so that someone might hear

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Then she said "goodbye" and though vainly I tried

To say "stay", the picture broke up

I'm a little too late to communicate

For the distance is too great between us

It's all of two million light years

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral
