b'The Long-Playing Earth\\n\\nThe stylus of the night / Is swinging round the long-playing Earth\\nAnd music and lamplight / Spring up wherever it falls\\nStylus of darkness / Stylus of the stars\\nWhere will you fall?\\n\\nThe clouds will be my covers / Colder than a stolen throne\\nAnd the dagger moon will watch me / Until the day returns\\nStylus of darkness / Stylus of the stars\\nWhere will you fall?\\n\\nAnd when the day returns I take my hand from off my eyes and watch the eastern windows\\nBut the passage of the night has left everything unchanged\\nStylus of darkness / Stylus of the stars\\nWhere will you fall?'
