Although many moons have passed, we once again approach The Mighty iPod One, and we once again ask the impossible:
Oh, Mighty iPod, is there indeed invasive terrestrial scum on Europa, transmitted through the mystery of lithopanspermia?
Woosh goes the Mighty iPod.
Woosh.

"Years from now, perhaps we'll see"
Seasonal start from the Covering.
The Crossing goes right to the point indeed...
Cruel is The Crown!
"Why did they ever go?"
It may look like some empty gesture
To go all that way just to come back
But don't offer me a place out in cyberspace
Cos where in the hell's that at?
The Root: Do you Believe - in ephemeral beings flying through the sky?
The Past: hmm. Didn't know I had that. I think the iPod One is hinting at the importance of reproduction to the question...
The Future: Hi
The Questioner: "there's a side to you that I never knew"
"the things you said, they were never true..."
The House:
Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
You're my home.
The Inside: - so, people talking, about how the protagonist is stuck in a rut... ouch!
The Outcome:
Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town
...
Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone
Mighty is the iPod One!
