Karma Is Contagious 05:00
lyrics
buy track
well I saved all the good stuff and they sold the garbage to you I'm happy with the way things turned out after what they put me through and this karma is contagious I'm first in line for the vaccine I explained the poison in the water while they're drinking gasoline I'm happy floating above the clouds one of the joys of being nocturnal they had it all but they just needed a little more looking forward to their funeral well the marks had tricked the grifters with what to do and the grifters really thought they had it made and the marks just went about their business as the debt to karma was repaid because this karma is contagious I'm first in line for the vaccine I explained the poison in the water while they're drinking gasoline I'm happy floating above the clouds one of the joys of being nocturnal they had it all but they just needed a little more looking forward to their funeral

well I grabbed the moon with my left hand and stuffed it in a bowl and lit it carefully there's lunar dust she thought she could taste some of planet earth but that's just not possible because it's all just dust just dust and rust it was discussed I made it very clear if it ain't dust honey it's rust so I looked at my reel to reel that I scavenged before the end and the shelves of tapes with the glued on rust the rust contained the best of the human race art based on time in the fourth dimension she thought she could taste some of planet earth but that's not possible because it's all just rust it was discussed I made it very clear if it ain't dust it's rust

Blink Drive 04:39

First I'm nowhere then everywhere I want to be It seemed like never took forever but now I see seemed I'd never reach the stars while still alive it's just too far only took a moment to engage the one and only the blink drive and now I'm anywhere and everywhere instantly and dark matter will only scatter where I used to be seemed I'd never reach the stars while still alive it's just too far only took a moment to engage the one and only the blink drive

Starlighter 04:47
lyrics
buy track
I am thankful for a radio signal just to hear signs of life way out here they spoke of weather and baseball scores and things that I should buy if I lived a hundred years ago starlighter can you hold me a little tighter as we float around the stars without gravity and starlighter I'll wipe the tears from your eyes because I know it's getting hard to breathe it's hard to breathe we're just floating in a beer can near the planet of debris and I have to pause and stop and wonder if you can discern us from any other well I see lights getting closer or is it all just in my mind just to step once more and feel the dirt between my toes are we anywhere that they will ever find

The Distant Stars 05:14
lyrics
buy track
well the space man told a story about when they lived on mars they always wondered what life was like out in the distant stars so they built themselves a rocket and headed out into space they gave up their old planet to find a better place and I said now we're trying to live there so we can go to the distant stars he said you can't even fix your own place and you clearly had it made the earthlings destroy everything even nature begins to fade and of all the marbles in the sky this one was a jewel we gave up that old planet to find a better place and I said now we're trying to live there so we can go to the distant stars

Rocket Ship 03:18
lyrics
buy track
I got a little bit of a problem with the way things been going on if I had a rocket ship honey we'd be gone we'd go have a lot of drinks with the only people left in the universe that hadn't lost their minds because honey it gets worse I don't have the time I need to build my rocket ship the gold in my head has been burning me burning for a very, very, very long time I notice the trick there don't beat down for their nickel dime that is flawed to the very core I don't need to hear their words no more if I listened to what is said I'll be a chalk line on the floor I don't have the time I need to build my rocket ship in the center ring won't you please welcome the strangest organism to ever roam these lands we'll call it human Well I got no words words words that'll do you any good the only thing I got if I did everything I could But I still got a problem with the way the way things been going on if I had a rocket ship honey we'd be gone I don't have the time I need to build my rocket ship

Not Of This Earth 06:32
lyrics
buy track
twenty thousand days I still don't belong I watch the stars above and admit that I was wrong arrived on halloween till the moment of my birth made from exploding stars just not of this earth not of this earth not of this earth I try to communicate I try to sympathize but my message of love continues to mystify in all the universe for what it's worth you are not alone we're just not of this earth I found the only one who is what she seems if we can't live in peace I'll fly in my dreams but I still look around and I pray they arrive to change this world while I'm still alive not of this earth..
