lyrics

I'm taking off to explore more universe
Heard enough to know, and now I'm leaving earth
On those launch windows, I'm so well versed
Not stuck at lunch windows on taco trucks
At 600 miles straight up into the sky
Looking down on a billion filaments of light
Seas of cells on a blue-green ship
Taken to the abyss by the majority whip
But the polarized orb can’t yank me in
Escaping unforced, I’m an alien
With some dinosaur claws, elevating just
practically perfect in every way, raising up
Like a cardboard box for Calvin and Hobbes
Imagination for me is just the start
Using Music of the Spheres and Kepler's third law
Blink once, be amazed, blink twice, I'm gone
With the ones I love, let's disappear
Rise up above the toxic atmosphere
Now one thing that I know is clear
It's time to go, we're breaking through the exosphere

So, let’s go to the Whirlpool, sipping on rocket fuel
We’re agents of expansion, the Pantheon’s sacking’s soon
The stanchions have fallen, and the launch code’s loose
Somebody tell Jupiter and notify Zeus
We’re ugly ducks growing up but passing Leda
Fly as Theta Muscae, we are looking deeper
Brilliant and packed, we are Wolf-Rayets
Great wolves in fact, on a MagiQuest
Now we're aiming for the stars, like Sagittarius
Going far beyond even where this beat will carry us
We got our pork-chop plots, proffered providentially
Working thought like a system works toward entropy
Our exit velocity creates a Platonic boom
Last call for wherewithal, you can come too
Bicameral animals made of supernova parts
Hammerstones gluoned with up down quarks
Aeons-long siren song, cometary serenade
Paleolithic petroglyphs on Pyrenees caves
Charging through the cosmos, ethereal charioteers
Arjunas blasting through the exosphere

The madness and the manic of the vanishing planet
Is past tense; we’re soon past tense; home is calling
It’s abstract, not common or classic
It’s quantum entangled information we’re tracking
Moving onward, boosted forward, energy
Characteristic, through the clouds we're roaring
More than somatosensory, soaring lighter
With this ballistic transmogrifier
So, two by two, we adorn and imbue this ark
With sparks of purpose, motives re-surfaced
In stark contrast to the candles that dimmed
Trim the wicks, get this ship downwind
Looking down to the pinpricks of sentience
And self-centeredness, sitting on a stone, spinning
With a center of pressure that cracks and spits
Slag and obsidian, inching toward Mars...
Nah, I’m heading for the stars, let’s go, we’re
Ascending so get in, and shed no tears
Encode Draconis, no stress, no fear
With my soul as we’re exiting the exosphere

We’re shooting toward space like a javelin spear
It’s our Beyond Earth Orbit world premiere
The sun is bright but some lights are brighter right here
Cause it’s three if by space, tell Paul Revere
With a covered rocket, interstellar pioneers
On the Oranocentric Trail, forging new frontiers
The Karman Line can’t hold us, now it’s starting to shear
The weight’s lifting as we’re splitting through the exosphere
