Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

We built a giant rocket
And we sent it to the moon
With an astronaut
A cosmonaut
A dog
And a baboon
Tell the aliens on Jupiter
That we're coming soon 
And we're coming 
Just because the stars are there

Because it's there
Because it's there
Because we could
Because we should
Because we dare
Because it's there
We'll pack some flares
But we're going to the [stars, bottom, top]
Because they're there

We built a little submarine
Upon the ocean waves
We're taking it to the bottom
To Davey Jones' grave
Through miles and miles of jelly fish
A sailor must be brave 
But he's going 
Just because the bottom's there

Because it's there
Because it's there
Because we could
Because we should
Because we dare
Because it's there
We'll pack some flares
But we're going to the [stars, bottom, top]
Because they're there

We climbed the top of Everest
We said a silent prayer
To the ones who came before us,
Who couldn't make it there
And yes, the going's treacherous
And yes, we must take care
But we're going to the top 
Because it's there 

Because it's there
Because it's there
Because we could
Because we should
Because we dare
Because it's there
We'll pack some flares
But we're going to the bottom
Going to the top
Going to the stars
Because they're there
Because they're there
Because they're there
