Flying In V Formation 05:18
lyrics

Keep your eyes on the skies during those January lies Around the cloud is where they're found and on the ground nobody knows 9G vertically holding your knees and toes Keep your eyes on the prize when flying those friendly skies Magnetic field lips are sealed forcing blood to the brain Lift force density a skein between increase your range Changing leaders no impeders saving energy in upwash zones High as a kite taking flight rotating right where do we go Increasing the range Reducing the drag Spread the fatigue Down the line Increasing the range Reducing the drag Spread the fatigue Increasing the range Reducing the drag Spread the fatigue If everything's going right We'll be flying at midnight

The Overview Effect 07:28
lyrics

Heading out past the Karman Line Don't know if it's day or night No more alcohol and cigarettes No more friends I'm starting again I don't know if I'll see you again Hanging in the void with all to see The Blue Marble shining back at me The thinning of the atmosphere I don't know I don't really care Above the free space I really need air Walking around the Dune Sea Thinking what became of you and me Bring some water and an easy chair In demand in No Man's Land Don't burn yourself on the sand Heading out past the Karman Line Don't know if it's day or night No more alcohol and cigarettes No more friends I'm starting again I don't know if I'll see you again

Escape Velocity 06:28
lyrics
buy track
At the end I'm on my way Static mind and feet of clay Changing my trajectory Breaking free to get away Ignore the friction Relative effects Calculate the formula Relax There's a two-body problem And a one track mind Gravitational slingshot along A radial line Characteristic energy C3O Is the path an orbit How do I know Time and space And the flow of time Quantum field theories Dualities combine 23 from 21 20 from 21 23 from 21 20 from 21 23 from 21 In the end I’m on my way Escape velocity The speed to break away Changing my trajectory A radial line is where I want to be Zero propulsion and direction I cannot say The universal and gravitational way I really need to leave now I really need to get away

Late Heavy Bombardment 08:58
lyrics

When you’re feeling ill And can’t find the truth Narrow interval time Colliding with the proof Impact melts And you can’t find your tooth Lunar or solar time Eclipsing and aloof Whatever it is you want They said Whatever it is you want They said Whatever it is you want They said What is it you really want I said

Two 10 circles 5 cent floor Out the door Can’t be sure Ten two thirds Number four Can’t look back Ask for more Two 10 four Must be more Leave your shoes Second floor Take 10 paths To get one track Leave the area Don’t come back Two 10 circles 5 cent floor Out the door Can’t be sure Ten two thirds Number four Can’t look back Ask for more Two 10 four Must be more Leave your shoes Second floor Take 10 paths To get one track Leave the area Don’t come back It’s not the only one It’s not the only one It’s not the only one It’s not the only one It’s not the only one It’s not the only one It’s not the only one It’s not the only one I can see it now I can feel it now I can see it now Getting closer now I can see it now I can feel it now I can see it now Getting closer now

Transitions 06:45

How you move forward And how you change your head Lowering your eyes Expectations that you dread Float around the outside Rise above the attack Spectrum colours Swirling around in my head Illuminating Anticipating Now it’s over Four leaf clover I’m sure it doesn’t Matter anymore In the Milky Way Everyday Starting over again Seratonin my friend Transformation Reinvention Multiverse theory No fait accompli See the colours I saw The Others Indigo, violet and red In celestia In my head Illuminating Anticipating Mind is open There’s nothing broken Nebula Dark Flow That’s where I want to go Mind is open There’s nothing broken Nebula Dark Flow That’s where I want to go

I don’t know why When I look to the sky It sometimes feels like The month of July I don’t know why When I look to the sky It sometimes feels like The month of July If you feel it doesn’t matter Talk through my eye See through my head If you feel it doesn’t matter Talk through my eye See through my head If you feel it doesn’t matter Talk through my eye See through my head If you feel it doesn’t matter… I’ve seen it all I’ve seen nothing at all I’ve seen it all And I need your help To help me break my fall I’ve seen it all I’ve seen nothing at all Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight I feel so small I feel nothing at all I feel so small You’re all lined up Just to see me fall I learned my fate In 1988 Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight Everything’s going right We’ll fly at midnight

Termination Shock 07:35
lyrics

There’s so much to explain Can’t get on an aeroplane It’s no great shock Keep on winding back the clock There’s so much to explain Can’t get on an aeroplane It’s no great shock Keep on winding back the clock And I still don’t know what to say More than 10 years to the day The 6 foot 4 man gets in the way I know I’ll see you again someday You know I’ll be fine To leave it all behind It’s always on my mind That I need to find a way Just to say goodbye You know I’ll be fine To leave it all behind It’s always on my mind That I need to find a way Just to say goodbye
