Lyrics (unofficial)

George? George?
  Yes, what is it dear?
George, I was just watching this thing on Jupiter 13.
  Jupiter 13?
Yes, George. Jupiter 13.
  My God woman! Why waste your time on stuff such as that.
But George, Jupiter 13 has disappeared!
  Oh darling, that's just some phony disinformation.
No George, the thing said Jupiter 13 is gone.
  No, that's... Well, that... I mean... Um...
Jupiter 13 is gone, George.
  No, that's impossible. It can't just go.
It disappeared.
Disappeared (disappeared, disappeared)
 

You gotta tell the planet
You gotta let 'em know
You gotta give 'em one last chance

Disappeared (disappeared)

You gotta tell the people
Tell 'em what they want to know
You gotta give 'em one last song and dance

Jupiter 13 has disappeared

Mercury is rising
Unity is broken
All the sins are unforgiven
All the words unspoken

Unity is broken
Mercury is rising
All the sins are unforgiven
That's not so surprising

Disappeared, disappeared, disappeared, disappeared...

People, you want century (disappeared)
  One pair of spectacles
  One walking stick with a wolf head handle
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  One deck of playing cards from Vienna
People, you want century (disappeared)
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  One quartz crystal
People, you want century (disappeared)
  One notebook containing notes pertaining to the Jupiter 13 project
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  Two photographs of children on Earth
People, you want century (disappeared)
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  A silver medal from the Third World War
People, you want century (disappeared)
  One electric toothbrush, matte black finish
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  One pair of audio attenuators, clear plastic
People, you want century (disappeared)
  One photo ID, 5-9-7-2-3-8-9-H-D
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  A book by author Angela Carter, a present from Susan Haug
People, you want century (disappeared)
  A sewing kit with silver needles and platinum thread
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  One prohibited device, code A-A-M-T-N-4-X
People, you want century (disappeared)
  One prohibited device, code A-9-7-5-T-S-I
We sold our souls for nothing (disappeared)
  One tin of Barratt's liquorice comfits

Disappeared, disappeared, disappered, disappered...
