lyrics

We'll leave when our parents are sleeping. Our craft awaits in the dark. We set our sights to the sky. Tonight we will embark. Four boys in a tin can. With a razor sharp plan. As the voyage begins. Fly straight and true. Say goodbye to the world we once knew. As our vessel lifts off and the houses below us turn to dots. The pressure it gets so tough as we break the hemispheric wall and float. Faced with death as we float through this black hole.I wonder how much we'll age if we return.
I woke up in my own bed. The sheets were sweaty achey head. Was this all some strange dream? I'll meet you at the bus at eight.
Suddenly it goes all black.
Was this just a dream? Memory fading back. Cold sweat distant faint laughs. Still air, control window view. Our blue earth we'll see you soon.

I like to pretend I have a really talented friend who recorded this album as a gift. That's what it feels like; a gift from a stupidly close friend. sherryking
