(TAKE ME BACK TO) ULTIMA THULE
John Soeder
© 2019

They call it a planetesimal
Tucked away in the attic of space
On a scale of 1 to 10
It might be just a decimal
But to me it seems like heaven

Grab my coat
Grab my hat
Ain’t I a sight to see
Take me back
To Ultima Thule

Pack my lunch
Pack my bags
Just the necessities
Take me back
To Ultima Thule

Beyond
This new horizon
It’s where I want to be
Way out there
On the edge of nowhere
A little world waits just for me

La dee dee
La dee da
Wouldn’t it be nice
On Ultima Thule
If hell is other people
Must be paradise
Up there
On Ultima Thule

Making a stand
On that strange land
Piece o’ red velvet cake
A quiet place
To lay my head
4 billion miles away (give or take)

No trouble, no wants, no worries
Life without a care
No headlines, no deadlines, no problems
Because there ain’t nobody there
(O snap)

In my finery
On a contact binary
Sure beats a cabin on some lake
A quiet place
To lay my head
4 billion miles away (give or take)

No headlines, no head games, no headaches
Nobody has a care
No crime, no war, no nothing
Because there ain’t nobody there

Grab my coat
Grab my hat
Ain’t I a sight to see
Take me back
To Ultima Thule

Pack my lunch
Pack my bags
Just the necessities
O take me back
To Ultima Thule

Beyond
This new horizon
It’s where I want to be
Way out there
On the edge of nowhere
A little world waits just for me
(You'll see)
