[Intro: The slow, deep 'thump-thump' of an acoustic bass]
[Sound of: A match striking and a long exhale of smoke]
[Sound of: A liquid pouring into a glass]
[Section: Jacques - Vocal: Gritty Deep Baritone, Rough French-Aussie Accent, Distant Room Reverb]
[Verse 1]
[Vocal: Jacques - Gritty Deep Baritone]
The manifold is quiet, the pressure’s holding steady
I’ve got a bottle of the "Special" and the glasses are all ready.
They call this ship a "Luxury," they call this ship a "Queen"
But they don’t see the grease-fire or the grit in the machine.
I’ve sailed from Marseille to the moons of Sector Nine
And I’ve never found a comfort quite as elegant as mine...
It’s a cracked leather stool and a view of the stars
Through the oil-stained windows of the lowest of the bars.
[Section: Bammer - Vocal: Deep Smooth Baritone, Slow Soulful Delivery, Vibrating Bass]
[Bammer]: [Deep Bass Hum] Mmm-mmm... The ship has a heartbeat, if you listen to the floor.
It’s a rhythm in the metal, it’s a song behind the door.
[Bammer begins rhythmic scatting in time with the bass]
Doo-wop, ba-dap, low-frequency soul...
Keep the tempo steady, let the Dramatica roll.
[Chorus: Jacques and Bammer - Low-Register Harmony]
Down in the Rusty Deck, where the shadows like to play
We’re light-years from the trouble and the duties of the day.
Let the "Upstairs" have the glitter, let the Captain have the ghost
We’re just the lucky bastards giving silence a toast!
[Section: Ducati - Vocal: High-Pitch Nasal Tenor, Shouted Rapid-Fire, Rhythmic Tapping]
[Rowdy/Ducati]: [Tapping a fast beat on a metal table]
I’m tapping on the pipes! I’m rattling the tin!
I’m making a rhythm out of where we’ve been!
Jacques, pour a double! Bammer, keep it low!
I’ve got enough energy to make the thrusters glow!
But for tonight, I’m chilling. I’m parked in the shade.
Drinking the best "Sanitation Fluid" ever made!
[Verse 2]
[Vocal: Jacques - Gritty Deep Baritone]
Look at 'em, Bammer. A bunch of cosmic strays.
Finding a bit of peace in the mechanical haze.
We don't need a leader, we don't need a plan
As long as the bass is thumping and the bottle’s in my hand.
[Bridge: Minimalist - Just Bass and Finger Snaps]
[Section: Bammer - Vocal: Deep Smooth Baritone]
The stars are just dust...
The metal is trust...
The silence is a must...
In the land of the rust.
[Chorus: Jacques and Bammer - Low-Register Harmony]
Down in the Rusty Deck, where the shadows like to play
We’re light-years from the trouble and the duties of the day.
Let the "Upstairs" have the glitter, let the Captain have the ghost
We’re just the lucky bastards giving silence a toast!
[Outro: Spoken over the fading bass line]
[Section: Jacques - Vocal: Gritty Deep Baritone]
That’s it, Bammer. Keep that note hanging.
Rowdy, stop hitting that jug, you’re ruining the vibe.
[Sound of: A glass sliding across a wooden bar]
To the Dramatica. Long may she leak.
[Sound of: A slow, contented sigh and the bass stops]
[End]
