Lyrics
The Stars, My Office (2019)
One of the team I keep the cops in line Up here in space The trains all run on time Cold coffee in a bubble Cheese Danish through a tube Next in line Surveyors take their breakfasts Prospectors linger long Wasting time Six shifts a week It keeps the rent at bay Astral travelers They drink all day Tchotchkes from Outer Handle vCards bought on the moon The sky is wide Me at this tiny counter Transactions in the till Lost inside The stars, my office Boundless space My heart, the outlaw Find your place Commissioned Expansion Prepare to launch Life's passion Ignition Orbit and out The stars, my office Boundless space My heart, the outlaw Find your place
The Grifter’s Hymn (2020)
Wild-eyed, teeth clenched, coils wound tight Strung together nonsense sealed air tight Armed, cursed and loaded for bear Coded threats everywhere Thick boots, pride, chins held high Each of those among us justified Doomed to fail, martyred sons of God The truth is fraud A hero’s quest overcome by events All roads taken, gaps in the fence Cocksure, brazen, proud voices within Belting out the grifter’s hymn
Left Alone (2021)
Like a skyrocket Leaving the earth Driven by purpose A blue flame A glowing sphere A pure speck of life My entanglements My kids, my life They fall to earth and burn away I’m left alone Finally I finish that song Read the great books Sort the laundry Focus inward Lift my burden And fizzle It turns out that time Outside the messy guts of my life Is worth less than I expected I’m left alone
