Mission (A World Record) [Alternative Mix]

Jeff Lynne

[Intro]
(Are you ready, 199?)
(It's time to leave for planet Earth)

[Verse 1]
For many days, we traveled
From a distant place and time
To reach a place they call the planet Earth
There was to be a celebration
On the mission of the Sacred Heart

[Verse 2]
The planet Earth from way up there
Is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow
But when you touch down
Things look different here
At the mission of the Sacred Heart

[Chorus]
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

[Post-Chorus]
Whеn all the stars above
Lay icy fingers down on mе

[Verse 3]
On a dirty, worn-out sidewalk
Sits a mother with a baby
In her veil of tears, she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the Sacred Heart

[Chorus]
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

[Post-Chorus]
(System not yet found)
And when the stars above
Lay icy fingers down on me
(All systems fail)

[Verse 4]
There's a building on a corner
In a city, in a land
On a place they call the planet Earth
My orders are to sit here
And watch the world go by
The mission of the Sacred Heart

[Chorus]
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

[Outro]
(How's life on Earth?)
