Lyrics:

Dit dah

Dit dah

Dit dah

As in

Alfred asks a bit of advice from his father

And anxiously for another few hundred dollars

(Dit dah) Dit dah (Dit dah)

“Well son I believe a patient waiter is no loser

And America believes in cash why disabuse her

AKA yes here son good luck

When you fall

Fall hard

Fall forward

When you fail

Fail out

On and up

Now go fill

That wire

With this message

Attention:

The Universe”

Thus the future hangs on Vail iron and copper

Thus the distance possible grows ever greater

From father’s heart to Morses code’s lip’s

"When you fall

Fall hard

Fall forward

When you fall

Fall hard

Fall forward

When you fail

Fail out

On and up

Now go fill

That wire

With this message

Attention:

The Universe"

Dit dah

Dit dah

As in

Attention:

The universe
