From the Tea-Rooms of Mars … Beguine
(Burgess/Walters/Landscape)
‘Night and day are just controls.’
[spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, out there on the galactic airwaves we bring you live, from the Tea-Rooms of Mars … the Beguine
I recall in the June of September,
in the light of the old harvest moon.
Far away from our homes we pretended
to recall when we once were not two.
[wordless reverie / trombone solo / CS80 solo]
I remember the times
when planet Earth was all on its own.
Station Nine was just a dream.
Do you know what it’s like
to be where there’s no trees and no sky?
Night and day are just controls.
