   "I don't care to sit tight.
   Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
   that I'm free, free to be me.
   Black night is a long way from home"

   Black Night is the name given to an unidentified satellite discovered by Nikola Tesla who supposedly heard it during a 1899 radio experiment. It was also observed by the USSR when Sputnik One was launched into orbit in 1957. It is alleged the Black Night is an artificial satellite of extraterrestrial origin which has orbited Earth for approximately 13,000 years.
   
   Hence the lyrics...
   "Black night is not right,
   I don't feel so bright,
   I don't care to sit tight.
   Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
   that I'm free, free to be me.
   Black night is a long way from home."
   
   A very long way from home!
