Living in Deep Space

The sounds of outer space will drive you mad within a week
So the stereo rates just as high as air
The lack of entertainment and the hours we must keep
Have left most of my coworkers impaired
But I like living in deep space
The isolation suits my disposition
My tour will be up in 87 months
Then I'll sign aboard another mission
Travel at the speed of light strains most relationships
The youth a special relativity
The lack of long involvements with the opposite of sex brings cynicism and some insanity
But I like living in deep space
The isolation suits my disposition
Mytour will be up in 87 months
Then I'll sign aboard another mission
Crackle of the radio brings the transmission of the week
But a jovian has made reception bad
They tried for half an hour to restore the missing waves
But the effort and the hope has made them mad
But I like living in deep space
The isolation suits my disposition
My tour will be up in 87 months
Then I'll sign aboard another mission

Gaslight won't illuminate
The path I always should have been upon
It took me a black eye to see
The difference that there is between home and harm
There won't be anymore coming back
Now that I am no longer in thrall
And you were the very last reason I had
To come back from the Paterson Falls
You're the one I left you for
Though you'd always place the blame squarely with me
No matter what I'd say or do
Everything was always you not ever "we"
There won't be anymore coming back
Now that I am no longer in thrall
And you were the very last reason I had
To come back from the Paterson Falls

Wrest Your Head
02:05
|
|||
|
You can build a suspension bridge
To suspend your disbelief
You can map where this is going
But it won't provide any relief
Discerning what's been going on
Based on what you've been told
Is like trying to read a letter that only has the vowels showing
You may be surprised to discover
What really is the source of that nameless dread
Should circumstance compel you to action
Before you take a step please wrest your head

The Irish Chiropodist
02:17

|
I crossed a street in Denville
And came down with an affliction that I couldn't name
An aching elation
That set me like flint in an ascending track
I knew in my heart there's be no turning back
Shee an Gannon at your command
I'd have to say my fate's in your hands
Call me tomorrow
There's not a reason why I wouldn't be feeling exactly the same
Across a street in Denville
Perils and tests to defeat and distract
But we'll make it through with our hearts still intact
Shee an Gannon at your command
I'd have to say my Fate's in your hands

Virginia Dare

I am here to tell you
There's a man who has been watching
And he wants you
Keep it in perspective
He's a shadow who is boxing
With your feelings
Virginia dare to tangle with an angle
Pander to his Antica and you might get down his pants
Virginia dare to implement an incident
Challenge a romantic and you might get a romance
I've been told to tell you
There's a man who has been watching
And he loves you
Hire a detective
Find a reason to believe
What he is saying
Virginia dare to tangle with an angle
Pander to his antics and you might get down his pants
Virginia dare to implement an incident
Challenge a romantic
And you might get a romance

Zero-Gravity Sex
01:38
|
|||
|
The padded walls have been installed
For our mutual protection
In zero G we feel free
To be more technical about erections
Zero gravity sex requires special effects
But what it lacks in tenderness
It makes up by being endless
I will be honest, we wear this harness
To contain opposite reaction
To stay in pace in outer space
And consulate our mutual attraction
Zero gravity sex requires special effects
But what it lacks in sentiment it makes up by being endless
I am your friend, I comprehend
Your newfound fascination
We bmp and grind, we take the time
To put some mileage on your spaceship
Zero gravity sex requires special effects
But what it lacks in innocence
It makes up by being endless
You are amused, we both are bruised
No commitment, no rejection
And sexually in zero G
We are a natural selection
Zero gravity sex requires special effects
Cut what it lacks in tenderness
It makes up by being endless

It's telling that it's expected that people living pay to pay
Would have the wherewithal to weather this without some aide
The monied world will panic if we don't work for just a week
Our lives the price to pay to keep this running full speed
If riot is the voice of the unheard
And they don't give a damn about our needs
How much will it take before we seize the means
The anger of a moment when you stop to realize
The job may be essential
The one who does it ain't worth a dime
Your life is worth much more than that, yeas you know it's true
If you are the point of breaking, maybe I am too
If riot is the voice of the unheard
And they don't give a damn about our needs
Our choice is to rise up now or else we'll be
Forever bled hollow
