I might have seen this in a dream
the way the galaxy would crest behind you
existence bursting at the seam
so it seems
i might have lived another life
these waking visions of the past are haunting
an alternate reality
so it seems
didn't think i'd get this far
in the milky way in just my car
i'm so high
so high above
in this galaxy i go my way
no more prompting me for what to say
i'm too high
too high for it all
my nervousness i try to fight
i forgot that i'm afraid of heights
i'm too high
too high above
can someone get me down please?
return to earth
some screams boi trash
Push the metal to the floor
let the pistons holler more
hold tight baby round Saturns rings
in space no one hears you scream
let the antimatter ring
I am the motherlicken space race king
I am the space race king (x4)
And everything you've built is coming detached
But it's growing and it growing
they're not going away
It's like looking through a cracked mirror
on judgement day
We drive, We drive, The windshield is breaking apart
we lose control and we're going off the cliff tonight
Whoooooooosh
[verse]
As I get home, my mind starts dreaming
Take a turn, and the road is gleaming
Stars reflect the space inside my mind
Reach out as the unknown unfolds
Feel a pull right behind my navel
Buckled up, all secure and stable
Feel the force, it yanks me back a bit
Smiling wide as I go
[bridge]
So up I fly into the darkening evening
and who can tell where I might land, what a feeling
I bank aloft and touch a comet so easily
The tires grip and I can gaze through the windshield
Endless sights now
[verse]
Used to think that my life was boring
Life and work really got me snoring
My commute has changed my whole worldview
Kicking back, seeing all
[middle-eight]
I enter cruise control, or start to lose control
and sit right back, go farther in the zone
Now here comes all the fun, go higher than the sun
Someday, I'll tell who might want to believe and see
You have to go fast.
They're fun to manipulate am i right?
started with an idea for a more industrial track. fell apart. did this instead. driving fast, sliding sideways, looking at the stars in a trance. or something.
<There are some words but I made them up as I went along>
Tried to write a knockoff Foo Fighters riff. Fought the DAW more than usual today. Have some learning to do!
Yes it's a 3 minute piece, don't ask. Transcribing this took some time. Also don't ask why i choose this as my cover, i felt like it, and it fits the theme. I didn't have time to turn back now, so i just rolled with it. Yes it's the theme song, not an original composition. I just did what i could. Have fun!
