NASA discovers a child floating in space! Can we get the budget to investigate? Or will we just take it on faith?

lyrics

It baffled all the scientists
When they looked into the night sky
There’s something floating out there
And they’re not quite sure why
NASA looked through a telescope
But all they saw was a silhouette

They had to get a closer look
Without going too deep in debt
I’m sure they did the best they could
Though their budget had been cut
And they tied an instant camera
To the side of a bottle rocket

(Polaroid space boy)
How’d you even get there
(Polaroid space boy)
You can’t even breathe the air
(Polaroid space boy)
We tried to come save you
(Polaroid space boy)
But we needed saving too

Now people all across the world
They put their faith in what they see
That the boy floating out in space
Was a world-wide epiphany

All our problems seem so far away
Just like the satellite child
And I pray to him every night
That he stays with us for a while

(Polaroid Space Boy)

He hasn’t done a single thing
Just a wave of his little hand
Somehow our leaders seem to know
All his godly demands

(Polaroid space boy)
How’d you even get there
(Polaroid space boy)
You can’t even breathe the air
(Polaroid space boy)
We tried to come save you
(Polaroid space boy)
But we needed saving too

We never got a closer look
Just a blurry instant photograph
We didn’t get to talk to him
We just prayed to the golden calf
Humanity’s second chance
To put our faith in the innocent

The final frontier of man
Impossibly omnipotent
He disappeared one day
He didn’t even say goodbye
Gone now without a trace
Except the one he left on our lives

(Polaroid space boy)
How’d you even get there
(Polaroid space boy)
You can’t even breathe the air
(Polaroid space boy)
We tried to come save you
(Polaroid space boy)
But we needed saving too
