Proteins Lyrics by Blake Hodgetts

Blindsight

2003

I met her in a spacer bar on Syrtis Alpha Nine
She was sitting by her lonesome drinking glycogen with lime
I sat right down beside her, and strange it is to tell
Though I couldn't place her species, still I felt I knew her well
And we struck a conversation that went on into the night
And she asked if I would like to see her pod
And you're many years behind me now, my blue-haired Syrtis gal
I know our paths may never cross again
I always will remember your sweet last words to me
"Z˜!ovaq übï|o lla'ng"
She said she worked a cargo route—she was an engineer
A load of Jaglan triticale had brought her to this sphere
She wasn't much for politics; she really loved to sing
She always felt romantic near a planet with a ring
Her tentacles were long and lithe and sheathed in silky fur
And who'd have guessed I'd fall in love with her?
And you're many years behind me now, my blue-haired Syrtis gal
I know our paths may never cross again
I always will remember your sweet last words to me
"Z˜!ovaq übï|o lla'ng"
We went back to her landing pod and soon began to kiss
Or rather did what on her world approximated this
While I won't say I found her loving absolutely new
She did some things that I don't think a human girl could do
And then afterwards we lay there until I began to cough
As I went into anaphylactic shock
And you're many years behind me now, my blue-haired Syrtis gal
I know our paths may never cross again
I always will remember your sweet last words to me
"Z˜!ovaq übï|o lla'ng"
I've been around the block, and know what every spacer knows
Be sure your proteins get along before you get too close
I don't know what came over me and A!e|i that night
Were we blinded by the moment, thought we'd finally got it right?
I saw her in the hospital the day I had to leave
And through blistered lips she told me not to grieve
And you're many years behind me now, my blue-haired Syrtis gal
I know our paths may never cross again
I always will remember your sweet last words to me
"Z˜!ovaq übï|o lla'ng"
