Laser Beam Salvage

[Verse 1] Laser Beam Hands on the stick Patched-up jacket Coffee stain on the zip Salvage crew Strapped in the back They trade bad jokes To hide how they crack Every scar on that hull She can read like a map Every dent on her knuckles From coming in too fast [Chorus] Laizer Beam piloting the salvage crew Every close call cuts the dark in two Her flying leaves them shaking in their chairs Knuckles white Saying quiet little prayers Watching each asteroid scrape the view They all swear this is the last run through Laizer Beam Somehow they trust you Laizer Beam You always pull them through [Verse 2] Warning lights Blinking in red She laughs once Low “Pretty Ain’t it?” she said Hull plates rattle Like loose teeth in a jaw She threads that junkyard By feel Not by law She’s got burn marks on charts Where she changed the route Saved their hides with a twitch And a half-cursed shout [Chorus] Laizer Beam piloting the salvage crew Every close call cuts the dark in two Her flying leaves them shaking in their chairs Knuckles white Saying quiet little prayers Watching each asteroid scrape the view They all swear this is the last run through Laizer Beam Somehow they trust you Laizer Beam You always pull them through [Bridge] One rock spins close Paint flakes in its wake She grins “We’re good Long as nothing breaks” (hey!) Then a bolt gives way And the cabin goes still She slaps that panel And bends the ship to her will [Chorus] Laizer Beam piloting the salvage crew Every close call cuts the dark in two Her flying leaves them shaking in their chairs Knuckles white Saying quiet little prayers Watching each asteroid scrape the view They all swear this is the last run through Laizer Beam Somehow they trust you Laizer Beam You always pull them through
