lyrics

I’ve been thinking and when I die I would like my heart cut out and projected into outer space
And maybe it’ll catch on and others will do the same
The entirety of the human race
With their hearts cut out and floating in outer space

But obviously I’ve thought it through some more and of course someone could need my heart too
The dead have no use for such things, but the apparently living do
As in a heart transplant or part of it that can be used
It’s possible it’ll be too old, broken or abused
But if they find that it’s ok in which in case I would gladly say
Go on give my heart to a member of the human race, alive, beating
But if they find that it’s of no use, I mean who’d want this thing with all it’s been through
Then I’d like it to be sent into outer space
I want cut out and sent into hyper space
And maybe it’ll catch on and others will do the same
The entirety of the human race
With their hearts cut out and floating in outer space
Or just a small minority of the human race
With our broken hearts all floating in hyper space

And the science says - well small caveat, let’s not get bogged down in scientific detail for the sake of a pop song - so yeah the science says it wouldn’t decompose for millions of years in the climate of the cosmos
So perhaps it find another home
Hit the window of an alien space probe
And they say what the hell is that weird red blob, is it some kind of heart, and oh wait there appears to be thousands of them around
Let’s run some tests and see what we can find out
This one was full of love, that one was consumed by pain
What beautiful species this could have been
But what a very peculiar thing to have agreed to do
