lyrics

We’ve surpassed the atmosphere that we’ve grown to know.
We understand our deposition and it goes to show
what Richard Nixon doesn’t know won’t be able to hurt us at all.
We may not be safe, but at least we can stall.

I feel compelled to mention, my comprehension of this scene,
but broken hips and pirate ships can’t fix this broken dream.
With your back against the wall and your head between your knees,
a contradiction in my diction, there’s a circle in my speech.

We’ve lost all cylinders, we’ve lost all hope.
We’re closing our eyes, forgetting to cope.
A hole in my head, and preparing to drown.
If you are not dead, you’ll soon be underground.

We will not retreat.
There is still one way.
Buzz Aldrin saves the day!

Come and feast your eyes on my single greatest fear.
The cracks in the earth, certain doom is clear.
I reside in the tides where most people would lose their minds.
And the ones that keep their sanity don’t need a chance to find.

We’ve surpassed the atmosphere that we’ve grown to know.
We understand our deposition and it goes to show
that which is not dead cannot eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death my die.

We’ve lost all cylinders, we’ve lost all hope.
We’re closing our eyes, forgetting to cope.
A hole in my head, and preparing to drown.
If you are not dead, you’ll soon be underground.

We will not retreat.
There is still one way.
Buzz Aldrin saves the day!
