8.24.06 (The Humbling of a Planet) Lyrics by Boris smile

Rockets EP

2010

[Instrumental Intro]
Hey Kids
Papa's gotta go
On a little trip
That's far from home
Hey kids
Got my mission soon
I'll watch over you
When daddy's on the moon
While I'm gone, my darlings
I'll dream of you
Your old man's an Eagle Scout
Who knows what to do
I wanna hold you in my arms
Bring back a moon rock
If it's not too hard
Dear wife
Got a problem here
It's not looking good
Wish I had you near
Dear wife
I've never been so cold
Oh, how I miss your warmth
Don't know if I'll be home
So many things that I'd like to say
But right now I think we both need to be brave
And I love you
Oh lord, I love you
Just be strong and I'll be coming home soon
[Instrumental Bridge]
When I was twelve
I sent a mouse to space
He took my own place
As he was small
An Ideal choice
His fur kept him warm
And his lungs out performed me
So well in the thin air
Love of your life
Life for science
Your knuckles clenched
A cardboard vessel took the flight
Unwavering eyes went upright
As they left Earth behind
What a lofty view
Of blue skies weighted black
The rocket slows to double rack
As space [?]
Love of your life
Life for science
Love of your life
Life for science
See the wreckage
Where's the resents?
Failed parachute
The journey left him dead
It should be me instead
A noble creature lost
Is it a waste?
The lives we throw away
My lamp start, the boys play
In the search for something more
