Dum spiro spero - while there's life, there's hope.

By S N Walsh

lyrics

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey Banzai, what have you done?
You've lost all you thought you'd won
More than every day but not quite always
Hey Banzai, look me in the eye
Or have you come too far to cry?
Follow in their footsteps long before they've dared to lay them down
Hey Banzai, you can still turn it around

The shine on his shoes tells a story; he didn't want it this way
He thinks he's over the limit, he thinks what's here's here to stay

And they said "Don't look back!" As he shoots from the dark
"Don't look down!" As he falls from the sky
"Don't give up!" Cries a voice in the night
"Don't look back!" As he shoots, for to die

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey Banzai, what have you done?
You've lost all you thought you'd won
More than every day but not quite always
Hey Banzai, look me in the eye
Or have you come too far to cry?
Follow in their footsteps long before they've dared to lay them down
Hey Banzai, you can still turn it around

The sweat on his brow tells a story; he hadn't planned it that way
He thought he'd change the world with all the clever things he'd say

But they said "Don't look back!" But it's all he could do
"Don't look down!" As he fell from his sky
"Don't give up!" But I can't make it right
"Don't look back--" Yeah, you know you don't want to die
You know you don't want to die, You know you don't want to die

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey Banzai, look at what you've done
You've given up all that you'd won
Not just for me but for all of us, always
Hey Banzai, look me in the eye
Look what you've done, you've made me cry
You followed in footsteps all your friends were too scared to ever lay down
Hey Banzai, you finally turned it around
Thank you Banzai, a hero turned it around

earth immigrant California

From 1979-1999, Pluto's eccentric orbit placed it closer to the sun than Neptune. Therefore, earth immigrant (b.1980, Zigian Air Fields, Neptune) indeed comes from the farthest planet in our system. I hate to think we Neptunians are so petty, but support for planetary demotion of Pluto was very high on the blue giant, and I can’t help but think it’s because we like being far out - the farthest! ... more
