pulp musicals - twelve million bricks lyrics

samuel:
great astronomical discoveries
was published too soon

rose, samuel:
john herschel
did not build a telescope
he built a moon

anna:
what do they mean by that?
herschel:
nothing. the stratfords have very active
imaginations

anna:
perfect, we could use people like them! okay
listen up…
twelve million bricks
is what it takes to build a satellite
twelve million bricks
until we soar
twelve million bricks
require lots of mortar, am i right
and we still need to
make one million more

herschel:
what’s been going on herе in township number nine
the lеtters that you sent assured me everything was fine
work’s gone on for years, yet the sphere is incomplete
tell me what you need, we’ve come too far now to retreat

anna:
the flywheels are always on the fritz
it takes a crowd to keep our slingshot intact
if they cease to run, our satellite weighs a ton
we wouldn’t have the energy to budge it
then a number of our bricks began to fracture
it was something in the clay found on our shores
things had to be refined, all of this took time
and now we’re running slightly over budget
herschel:
i see what you did, there

rose:
twelve million bricks
is what it takes to build a satellite
twelve million bricks
until we rise

samuel:
twelve million bricks
of course, cannot be forged overnight
but i will help you
build until it flies

anna:
we’ll take all the help we can get. by the waydo
you know anything about physics?

rose:
newtonian mechanics
thermodynamics
where do we start?

anna:
be still, my heart!
herschel:
we had two hundred thousand pounds when we started
how much more is needed for the labor and brick

anna:
another thirty

herschel:
i’m not sure it can be done before the rainy season comes

margaret:
would us dollars do the trick

all:
(gasps)

margaret:
i had a fortune in new york
i brought all that i could
by how you just reacted
i’m guessing my instincts were good
i see it in your face
to me, belief is treasured
your soul is in that satellite
and faith like that cannot be measured
i’ll give you what you need
say the word, and we’re agreed

anna:
can i hug you? come on, bring it in

all:
twelve million bricks
is what it takes to build a satellite
twelve million bricks
until we fly
twelve million bricks

anna:
we can begin tonight

rose:
let’s roll up our sleeves

margaret:
let’s go and tell the town

herschel:
here’s another headline
samuel, write this down

all:
twelve million bricks
light up the sky
