The thumping sound of a breaking heart,
Heard across the ocean blue,
By sensors continents apart;
The thumping sound of a breaking heart:
A sound completely off the chart,
An organic sound, now heard as new.
The thumping sound of a breaking heart,
Heard across the ocean blue.
No whale could make such abstract art,
The thumping sound of a breaking heart;
Sped up, a ‘Bloop’ of just one part,
Out of Lovecraft’s nightmare stew.
The thumping sound of a breaking heart,
Heard across the ocean blue.
Mystery solved, ‘twas no dark art,
The thumping sound of a breaking heart;
As ice and land are torn apart,
Mankind must now wake up to
The thumping sound of a breaking heart,
Heard across the ocean blue.
