lyrics

I'm adrift and exist at the mercy of the junk
I shower when I feel imperiled by the funk
I'm no dummy, I just don't get that motivated by the money
I keep waiting for it to all have been a joke that wasn't funny
Not much left of my home planet the Earth
It's a total burnt out husk, but, I _have_ seen worse
running low on fuel, and that is so not cool
still being 45 light years from Praqul
with Everybody looking for me since I left Delta-3
they want what I got, and I don't blame them, it is pretty hot
on the sand dunes with no energy left for tunes
and you're left to fill a quota picking through the runes

I look to the skies I rise, they won't keep me down no more
I'm sick of their lies, I despise, their guns their greed, their ignoring my needs, their egos and their wars

another show another shave
another d'oh oh behave
another day that I'm a slave
and get charged more than I'm paid
but I got it made
I got devices to my right
for making music all day and night
the new one has very pretty lights
and I don't have to fight
to be free / from labels, 360s OR flashbacks of Bill Bixby
you wouldn't like me when I'm angry, but / what/'s to like
I can disappear for a light year with this here cloaking device
and reappear with machines like you've never seen
and sounds that are made out of dreams

I look to the skies I rise, they won't keep me down no more
I'm sick of their lies, I despise, their guns their greed, their ignoring my needs, their egos and their wars

When I give, I give to forget
and then forget that I gave so I'm very grateful to get
and this is the best day yet / good to be back
on a terra firma track adrift in the pitch black
countdown to clearing the dark side of this moon
half CGI & half cartoon
uncovering unwanted sounds and loving them back to life
the ones who discarded us never thought twice
all I've got to say, some day they're gonna pay
I'm sorry. I just can't let it end this way

[stop]

I look to the skies I rise, they won't keep me down no more
I'm sick of their lies, I despise, their guns their greed, their ignoring my needs, their egos and their wars
