Unimaginable Distance Two

Limber up, get ready for the long haul
That protein shake's gonna come in handy
Along with an ocean of electrolytes

You sprinters are in for a rude awakening
It's not gonna be a party for you marathoners either
This is an equal opportunity event
Everyone is equally disadvantaged

It's an unimaginable distance between the Earth and Sun
But it's not half the distance we've already come

Distance can't be measured when it's outside time and space
This is a race
Of unimaginable distance

You think Alpha Centauri's far?
Man, it's two clicks and a heartbeat compared to where we're headed
You think the galaxy is big?
Man, you have no idea
You think eternity is long?
Well how long is it?
Well it's longer than the Small World ride at Disneyland

It's an unimaginable distance until the nearest star
But that won't tell you nothing about who and what we are
That is the enigma to be solved to state the case
This is a race

Of unimaginable distance

Man, what is your problem?
What is your solution for our times?
Do you just state the questions and then vex us till tomorrow
'Cause it rhymes?

Well if I did
Would that be wrong?
Well if I did
Well you might be catching on

Step up to the line, the next heat is beginning and it's free
To offset the overhead, there has to be a modest entry fee
The boilerplate explains your rights, all merchandise
And your image and identity
And that of your competitors is designated to the
Promoters of this event in perpetuity without exception

All objections to these terms must be taken up with the Creator
It's an unimaginable distance between the Earth and Sun
But it's not half the distance we've already come
Distance can't be measured when it's outside time and space
In this, the human race of unimaginable distance
On your mark
Ready, set, go
