Belly Up - A Telemetry

Belly Up Lyrics

born out of nothing
captured from the unknown
materialized from something
derived from earth and stone
they saw the future
unraveled in their eyes
as all those skeptics balked
at what they thought were lies
no matter how it's said
they continued to harvest
from their thoughts
the idea was to large
for small minds to take
they invented the first one
everyone thought it couldn't be done

they weren't about to go belly up
they invented the first one
those germs of thought to reality
they weren't about to go belly up
skorn for centuries
eccentric and alone
living off borrowed time
hiding in their catacombs
they performed magic
with uncanny and resolve
changing all our destinies
as each new idea evolved
no matter how it's said
they continued to harvest
from their thoughts
the idea was to large
for small minds to take
they invented the first one
everyone thought it couldn't be done
they weren't about to go belly up
they invented the first one
those germs of thought to reality
they weren't about to go belly up
wake up and appreciate
the men who gave
all they could give
respect and alleviate
from a normal life
so many of us live
they invented the first one
everyone thought it couldn't be done
they weren't about to go belly up
they invented the first one
those germs of thought to reality
they weren't about to go belly up
