about

The Bubbleator was a large, domed elevator in the Seattle Center, built as a part of the 1962 World's Fair, as a part of the "World Of Tomorrow" exhibit.
Originally located in the Coliseum, later moved to the Center House, where it remained for many years, until it was eventually sold to a private owner, who converted into a greenhouse, showing that no one truly knows what is in store for any of us, in the "world of tomorrow".

lyrics

Th' Bubbleator
===========

...And now, step right up to the next century in space!
- Sharpen your spirit of adventure,
Because we've arrived at the Century 21 exposition
- Crowded with the unbelievable worlds man is going to conquer.
- The most exciting glimpse of the future, Americans have ever had -
- and there's more to come!...

- Take a look at the space city
- The perfect home for a World's Fair,
That celebrates the future!
- Here, rising from the water's edge
In a setting of breathtaking natural beauty -
Are the forward looking spirits
- A tribute to the pioneer spirit
Of America in space!

If there is one theme which dominates our tour in space,
It is man's eternal search for a brighter future
20 centuries of achievement are just the prelude
- We look to a new century in which science
Will scale the heights of creative imagination

- Next stop: Science unlimited!
Under the soaring arches are the
Five fascinating areas of the World Of Science Pavillion
- Where you see incredible scientific wonders!
And roam the galaxies in a realistic re-creation of rocket flight!

- And now, we go to the second half of our
"Tour Through Tomorrow In Space"
- Our next stop, one of the greatest galaxies ever exhibited!
- Here is man as he envisions himself
- - In the Space Age!...

- And now, here's a world where
Tomorrow's science takes on spectacular reality!
- Come with us, where you'll thrill to
A simulated flight through outer space!
- See Mars, Jupiter and Venus
Flash by in glowing color!
- - Travel through amazing
3-Dimensional galaxies!

Wide-Eyed Ypsilanti, Michigan

Formed in the beginning of 2001, Wide-Eyed is Tina Lambright and Patrick Pyne. Despite being a duo, they rotated instruments for recordings to make full, band-oriented songs of varying sounds and styles. Their music can be generally described as experimental pop, or psychedelic rock, but avoiding cliches of any genre. Serious, funny, abstract or direct, despite the dressing, enjoyment is the focus ... more
