Relax, our engines aren't even started yet And I haven't begun to get hot just yet Calm down, we haven't even gotten off the ground And I can't even tell myself now How those engines are cold But that's alright, our flames did not ignite I can see at night when the sky opens up just right We try to get it right Hold up You know I ain't even grown up yet But I can surely take a guess as to how It will turn out in the end So step back You're gonna give yourself a heart attack I just want to take a few back, and that is Those months spent with the engine But that's alright, our flames did not ignite I can see at night when the sky opens up just right We try to get it right

Black Hole 04:56
And so it goes Your body stretched out against the stars The space between dimples and scars Doesn't matter anymore And so it goes I'm trapped here forever On the horizon For all to see, I'm not me I am here, I am gone And so it goes I'm slipping into a black hole And I don't know If I'll be back again Some day soon And so it goes I'm trapped here forever On the horizon For all to see, I'm not me I am here, I am gone

Milky 03:30
Oh, fate Has caught us making milky miracles together Fate Has wiped our clammy hands with Spanish leather and that's alright We can flex or not if we like We can frequent public places if we like Fate has caught us pouring milky miracles together Fate has sought to intertwine our lively tethers We can choose to follow through if we like We can frequent public places if we like Fate has caressed our rosy cheeks with a pigeon feather and that's alright Oh, Fate Has smoked my meager soul with tactful pleasure

I've been hanging out here on the Rhean satellite, I can't hear at all A flutter in my hear turns to shudder in the dark, it is quiet now It took so long to get here and I can't even make a sound I'm fighting for air anyway and I'm going down Oh, it is quiet now I really mean it when I say it's quiet now Well you'll never guess it baby but I've made up my mind, I'm moving out now I want to take my time in the Titan mines and I can see it now It will take so long to get there but I don't care how I'm fighting for air anyway but it's going south Oh, it is quiet now I really mean it when I say it's quiet now Well you'll never guess it baby but I've made up my mind, I've had enough of this I want to disappear to Europan sphere and lay low now It will take so long to get there but I want to go now And I'm fighting for air anyway but it's an uneven bout Oh, it is quiet now I really mean it when I say it's quiet now

Olive Oil 02:57
Who says this capsule is a prison? Not when an avocado is a woman Not when a mountain turns to brussel sprout You know that all we've got is freeze dried shit in stock and I'm about to blow my top All I want is just a little shot Of Olive Oil Who says this capsule's getting old? Not when bad tomato turns around to gold Houston tells us just to do as we're told Golden tomato Avocado Woman One good, hot meal in front of me All I want is just a little shot, I want a little taste Of Olive Oil All I wanted was a taste Pour a little bit more on my plate

Ring 03:54
I've been thinking about you all day long And I brought my ring to give Watch you smile as you put it on On the index where it belongs And I've been gone for so long But in space I can still write songs And I want to give I want to give you my I want to give you my ring I've been thinking about you all night long But it's all the same up here Watch you smile as I'm coming down To planet Earth where I belong And I've been gone for so long But in space I can still write you a song And I want to give I want to give you my I want to give you my ring Hey lady, I'm over here Skipping across the stratosphere And I'm only 210 miles away I have to stay, but thats okay I told you I would eat you up And here is my ring I put it on when I sing When we sing

Give Thanks 06:05
Love, you hit the nail on the head of that dove Love, you stuck a finger through the key hole in that beating mud Love, you sucked the life out of me with that puckering bud And I say hey You're no longer sweet pea Just sour and snowy to me No more delicately Singing out those words to me And even so Even so I want to stop and give thanks To the alien overlords They brought us here on the back of a seed It was the seed that sprung the roots that grew the tree We shake the branches and the leaves I pluck the fruit that I want to eat And so I stop and give thanks They still brought you here to me Hey, you sowed the seed of my heart in the month of may Hate, sometimes you beg a broken hand to stay Hey, it was just the stress that led my heart astray And I say You're no longer sweet pea Just sour and snowy to me No more delicately Singing out those words to me And even so Even so I want to stop and give thanks To the alien overlords They brought us here on the back of a seed It was the seed that sprung the roots that grew the tree We shake the branches and the leaves I pluck the fruit that I want to eat And so I stop and give thanks They still brought you here to me

Terrafying 06:24
Friend and Foe alike All reduced to fly ash despite My best effort to care I'm trying to be good for all the dead But I don't have to be good And it's like 95 birds are flying me home But home is now red And I'm alone And it is terrafying to me But I find myself out here Wanting to become The great god, Mars Plow and sow alike All weigh a little more despite My best attempt to lift them up again I'm trying for my family and friends But I don't have to be good And it's like 700 cows are calling me home But milk is now red And I'm alone And it is terrafying to me But I find myself out here Wanting to become The great god, Mars I left a lot behind from a former life of mine I'm not the only one around With my helmet to the ground I left a lot behind From a former life of mine And I haven't the time To stack those bodies high
