Say Again, Tower Words by Catherine Faber © 1998, music by Arlene "Callie" HillsGm DMajor The sky mighty black and the Earth blue and green Gm DMajor I flamed out on stellar craft B-17 Gm DMajor With never a thought for the future I sought, Gm DMajor So here's to the stars and the spacers between. Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower?", the spacers demand Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower, we don't understand Gm DMajor Gander your phrase book and try it again Gm DMajor Gm And please eighty-six on the slang on this band!" Gm DMajor Like anyone else with the brains of a bean, Gm DMajor I'd read Chaucer and Shakespeare and easily seen Gm DMajor How a language could change in a century's range, Gm DMajor Gm I just hadn't thought what the changes might mean. Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower?", the spacers demand Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower, we don't understand Gm DMajor Gander your phrase book and try it again Gm DMajor Gm And please eighty-six on the slang on this band!" Gm DMajor With everyone fighting to coin the new phrase Gm DMajor The Internet's growth added fuel to the blaze Gm DMajor Kids pick up a word they just overheard Gm DMajor Gm And spread it worldwide in a matter of days. Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower?", the spacers demand Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower, we don't understand Gm DMajor Gander your phrase book and try it again Gm DMajor Gm And please eighty-six on the slang on this band!" Gm DMajor I laughed at the worries that fell on my ears Gm DMajor 'Till the voice from the tower confirmed all our fears, Gm DMajor "Say, B-17, how's the verne escadrine?" Gm DMajor Gm For Pete's sake, I've only been gone twenty years! Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower?", the spacers demand Gm DMajor "Say again, Tower, we don't understand Gm DMajor Gander your phrase book and try it again Gm DMajor Gm And please eighty-six on the slang on this band!"
