Exordium

Somewhere,
Lost in the dense sea of matter and energy
Beyond the many billions of stars and galaxies,
Lies a place that none have yet seen,
A mysterious place,
Where long unknown stories will soon become clear
To those who listen in
On what tales we have here

Space Travelin'

All I see are the stars
Coming in from the dark
I was standing down there
Vision black now I’m here
Am I dead?
No, I’m feeling all this dread
My heart’s leaping to my chest
Think I’m stuck out here in space
Out to get some coffee
Then was floating suddenly
Metal walls all around
Out here in space, there’s no sound
All alone
Very far away from home
Take a look
This is no book
Everything I loved, they took
Lost in space
Must be the case
This is really a cliche
Will I ever get back again

Café From Outer Space!

Oh, please
No, no
Not me
I just
Want to
Be free
I didn’t do anything
I just went on a walk today
You picked me up and made me stay
And now I think I’m gonna pay
Bones are peeking from the corpse
But what’s that over by the hearse
A little sizzle, little hum
Could this be where I’m coming from
I wanna make it out one day
Dunno if I’ll be okay
A little sizzle, little hum
Crawl in the corner, suck my thumb
Look out the window, all I see
A blur of stars and moons in front of me
But not a single thing that reminds me of my home
I think I’m gonna vomit
A glimmer in the dark and
Could it be the coffee shop

Eternal Throb

I’ve found the place for me
Somewhere that’s not busy
Feelin’ good mentally
I could get used to it
I’m taking my time
Feeling’ totally sublime
No longer in the grind
Space ain’t so bad, no lying’!
Yeah, it’s not so bad up here
Could get used to this
No one to tell me what to do, or where to go, or when to work
Stick yr needles in my brain
It’s the only thing to keep me sane
All I need’s more of that juice
Who cares if it makes me loose

Welcome to our planet C!
This is the place you’ll be happy!
Wear this suit, you’ll look real good
We’re your friends here, understood?
Put yr feet up
Loosen yr tie
Welcome home
Oh, don’t be shy

There’s this new place I’ve come to
Where everything seems so new
Back on Earth, I didn’t have a clue
Streaks of gold there in the sky
And lots of people saying hi
Oh, I thought I was gonna die
I’m on my way
The long way round
I think I’ll stay
Feels like I’m found
I don’t want to hurt you too
What is that, I think we need to talk to you
Whisper secrets in the ether soon
I don’t wanna go back
I wanna take that
I wanna take it all
And see you crawl
I don’t wanna go
|

Come in and have a seat
I’ve been dying for us to meet
You’ve come such a long way
Really hope you enjoy yr stay
You must be filled with a million thoughts
Just sit tight and let it grok
Take this glass, don’t mind the knife
It’s time to drink the cum of life
Drink up
It’s good stuff
Listen up
Don’t mind the cuff

Any Particular Star

|
Anything goes!
Up there, ya know
Far from home!
In the unknown
Not so bad!
And I should know
Any old star!
Is home for sure
Any old star
Not so far
I kinda think I’m getting used to things
Wouldn’t be so bad if things stayed the same

Alien Ghost
01:08
|
|||
|
You find yourself floating in and out of a daze
Is what you see real or are you just in a haze?
The ghosts of past present and future protest
Isn’t it time you got some rest?
Teeth gnashing
Bones cracking
Every sense screaming, crying
Let the body burn and end this
Alien ghost shrieks with envy
Let me out, set me free, break this bodily curse in me

Extra-extraterrestrial
02:19
|

|
Our journey is coming to an end
Could I perhaps have made a new friend?
Thinking back to how this thing began
Everything’s funnier in retrospect
Extra special terrestrial
At first, all I wanted was a little bread
Something to munch on, something sweet and red
Early morning, set off from bed
Found myself in a new world instead
Now I’m in a world of fantasy
Out in space, a little dizzying
Think I’ll stay as long as I can see
Don’t wanna wake up from all that’s around me

See Ya Space Cowboy

One more cup of coffee before I go
Made some friends and thought they’d take my soul
What a wonderful surprise, I think I might take some supplies
Just one more cup of coffee before I go home
Take my spleen, take my heart, I didn’t need it from the start
One more cup of coffee before I go

And so the story is complete,
And everyone is satisfied with the ending
And so on and so forth
And yet...
