Moon Going Round

It's automatic going from
First to eighth gear in rocket powered
Flights on hunks of space junk
I need to make a trip down here someday
We'll go all the way to the end of the solar system
Space Truckin' don't mean a thing if you got a mission
Now over on Planet Texas you can see the oil rigs from
Space when they're doing their thing
I need to make a trip down here someday
We'll go all the way, all the way past the goal line
You may ask me how it is
And I'll say I am feeling real fine
Alien spaceport's where you'll find the good stuff
You can get anything from Yavin to Bespin
I need to make a trip down here someday
We'll go all the way, all the way back to where we been
You may ask me how I've been
And I'll just throw you a line

Moja Knows
02:42

Moja knows that I can't come and get you
Out of your hiding place
Moja knows that you shouldn't run around with
Your eyeballs outta your face
And even Moja knows that you don't know what you're doing
With that old guitar in your hand
Now come on back let me play you one to show you
Who is who and who is not you
You know back when I was in high school
The guy Moja told me something
He said you can't let a Goddamn soul catch you lacking
Or else you're better off with nothing
Don't let anyone tell you
What the hell kinda music to play
I think I've got something to tell you now son
So you better just back away

The Ninth Circle
04:14
|
|||
|
Wilting clear blue sky, I watch how they rise
A land so obscene, not even the trees remain green
To walk through the way, is a passage and a trip
The mind blows through, four-gauge shotgun grip
How the sun sees more than we ever could want it to
Going, to a place I ain't been
I'm outside looking in
I got no time to lend
I'm going insane
The grass is right as rain
The mountains are made of paint
My eyes are made of glass
I'm going to Hermit's Pass so
Come on a safari with me
The Ninth Circle is the innermost center of the mind's eye
It is said when The Ninth Circle is opened,
He who looks in it will be rewarded with total consciousness
You, you got me
And I got you
Or so you see
Through the past
It's been me
But now it's you
Who's to seek
The Ninth Circle to unite the trio of Mind, Body, and Soul

Choose what you want babe
You know you don't want me
Choose what you want babe
You know you don't want me
Some pretty mama better start breaking down on me
I get up in the morning, you know you don't need me no more
I get up in the morning, you know you don't need me no more
Now baby I don't need any time to Gulf Shore
I'm going down to Beaumont, gonna give Louisiana hell
I'm going down to Beaumont, you know I had to say farewell
I would go down to Hillsboro, but they tell me there's water there
I don't know why I sit and stare and cry when you could
Run away with me and go to Hollywood where it's all nice
But surely enough you know you'd oughta try and give it all to me
Too little and late she done and shook her head at the thought of trying to give and to get some advice
Unbeknownst to her she never knew it was coming
But I try to be nice

The Galactic Rambler
04:20

|
Well honkin' down the high road, 'bout a quarter to ten
Someone seen me somewhere, I shouldn't have been
Turn them wheels turn, you know come on baby when
Truck drivin' man, you know I do what I can
Someone told me Uptown's not a street for a guitar man
Twelve empty record sleeves and one more game to go
Something tells me Travis man, it's time to go with the flow
Bloodborne states are burning
And the treacherous race is high
Some would call us outlaws
But the space police can't lie
Turn them thrusters backwards son
And hit the speed of light
You know I can't believe this same old thing
Would ever really happen to me
I never gave a thought that I just cannot be set free

You Think We Can
04:48
|
|||
|
It's not a hard decision
When you know the end
It's a contradiction
When your mind ascends
Abandoned by the face of reality
That's the final stroke for you and me
I'm not afraid of what's to come
Two dying stars can be a burning sun
So tell me girl
No you can't
You think I can
So tell me girl
If I'm your man
You think I can
So tell me girl
No you can't
You think we can
So tell me girl
If I'm your man
You think we can
So tell me girl
No you can't
You think we can
So tell me girl
If I'm your man
You think we can

Star Trek (1966)
03:23
|

|
It's something I had always dreamed of every day
Something I had said I wouldn't ever stray away
Starship aeroplane into the crash of universe
Heroes and villains all in the same shirts
There is just one threat to us
That will not go away
The Romulans land and they're here to stay
Fly with me
All across the galaxy you know you're free
I'm set into my phaser I am here to please
Don't forget your helmet
There's no air to breathe
In our Starfleet
Feeling torn on what to do
With no help from one of you
Gorn is chasing after me
I'll throw a rock in the breeze
Solar flares light the sky
As the Enterprise passes by
Deep Space Nine where to go
Take this pill and drink it slow
In a time of Armageddon
They're closing in on Rigel 7
Chekov go take the helm
I've got to enter the psychic realm
Fly with me
All across the galaxy you know you're free
I'm set into my phaser I am here to please
Don't forget your helmet
There's no air to breathe
In our Starfleet
Their phaser bolts tear us up
We need that hyper speed
Go to work and save the ship
Now Scotty send that beam
The Federation won't do us right
We gotta make it back alive
Send it through the outer rim
No landing spot close in sight

I'm going through the galaxy
Riding on my hoverboard
You can't tell me what to do
I gotta get a whole lot more
There's things and sights I've never seen
Places that I wanna go
Surfin' through the solar belt
Through blasted summer scenes
One in ten, lose it all
Or die through other means
Shifting into turbine speed's
The only thing I really need
Solar Surfin' with me
Goes real nice when you're tryna be free
Solar Surfin' with me
Come on back baby Solar Surf with me
Now the dawn is breaking and we really gotta go
I'm parking on the shuttle port
And that you better know
Reeling rocking solar wind like it's nothing else
I'm waiting on the sun to shine
Even though nothing's mine
Surfin' on Mercury
Through a million tons of gasoline
Gambling on space dice
Is all I got going for me
Solar Surfin' with me
Goes real nice when you're tryna be free
Solar Surfin' with me
Come on back baby Solar Surf with me

Off World Workin'
03:57

I woke up this morning
Looked around for my shoes
You know I have them
Off World blues
I gotta get outta here
I gotta go away
I gotta go somewhere
Where they can't recognize my face
Policeman approached me and said
You don't belong here
He said What's your name
You know I had to get out of there
Well if the asteroids don't get me
Then they'll be hunting me everyday
Off World workin' just don't work for you
Off World workin' just don't work for you
Yes I'm off world workin'
Workin' day and night
Well I'm off world workin'
(Yes I'm off world workin')
Yeah I'm off world workin'
(Yes I'm off world workin')
Yeah I'm off world workin'
(Yes I'm off world workin')
Yes I'm off world workin'
Workin' day and night

Outer Rim Scoundrel
04:27

Strange creatures, staring at me
I ordered a drink and I got it for free
My baby came up and said I'm the worst
'Cause I pulled out my blaster and I shot first
With the boys in the tavern and we're causing a ruckus
Got a call from Jabba, said not to cross us
Thiry-thousand credits on our head
I'd get off this planet but I'm already dead
Yo running from the police that's my theme
Step in the cantina, disrupt the whole scene
Wanted on twelve different systems, that's me
Intergalactic planetary rambling, man
I do a little strumming and kicking cans
You have a laser to your brain
And fear in your eye
God is the one to decide if you die
I'm just a messenger, don't blame me
Never caught lacking, float away in debris
I'm a hunter, gotta catch my next bounty
I got a death sentence from here to Travis County
Cruising through the outer rim, no ship in sight
If I make the jump to lightspeed I can make it home tonight
Imperial cruiser, hot on my tail
You say that I can't make it, then I'll see you in hell
Well I made that Kessel run, in less than twelve
I'm outta here Jabba, go look somewhere else
Got my head in the clouds, but I'm coming right down
I'm falling, baby can you hear me calling
I'm upside down
Got my head in the clouds, but I'm coming right down
I'm falling, baby can you hear me calling
I'm upside down
Well I didn't get to bed last night, I lost my right hand man
In a laser sword fight

Discovery One

Well the Earth looks a little bit smaller today
A few light years from where I was yesterday
I can feel it in my soul I was born to fly
Out here never know what you'll find
When you fly, on Discovery One
Well the sun is shinin', but it's black all around my home
HAL out to get me, I gotta keep movin' on
There's nothing to go on about now
It's all over, the sun just hides
Behind the clouds
We're all meaning to come back
But we got off the astral plane
Ship's us off to a long lost destiny dimension rift
Comin' back into the atmosphere
Discovery One's not the one you fear
Discovery One
