I’m emailing them, asking if I can purchase the license rights to it so\u00a0I can post it on this blog.\u00a0 In the meantime, if you go to\u00a0his homepage<\/a> and give it a few seconds to load, you’ll see the song in the upper left-hand corner of the web page.\u00a0 Click on the play button and ENJOY!<\/p>\n

If you’re a Nickle Creek fan (like me), the style will sound very familiar.<\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/p>\n

take me up to the top
\nand don’t stop
\nyou look down
\ncan’t comprehend such a long drop
\ntwenty thousand miles
\ni’m not a liar
\ni tell you steven tyler’s wishing
\nhe could have a piece of
\nthis ascending movable feast
\npaydirt, payload, heave-ho
\npack your halliburton and let’s go<\/em><\/p>\n

space elevator<\/em><\/p>\n

we’ve no need for escape velocity
\nwe’re free
\nwith every mile higher we lose the weight of gravity
\nclimb the tether together
\nheading for the counterweight
\nup the carbon nanotube
\nspiderweb into space<\/em><\/p>\n

you’re gonna love it here
\nget undressed in the mesosphere
\nget so hot in the thermosphere
\nyou know what’s coming the exosphere<\/em><\/p>\n

space elevator<\/em><\/p>\n

don’t look down don’t look down don’t look<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And he’s coming to Chicago in April – oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
