Blue-Lipped Friday on the Moon Base

[Verse 1] Punch out time on the crater Fluorescents flicker and hum Somebody tapes up a paper sign “Friday — we go dumb” No bottles hidden in lockers No pills No powdered lies Just stainless-steel rec room couches And a switch that drops the skies [Chorus] Blue-Lipped Friday on the moon base Turn it down till the walls all bend Who’s still laughing in the thin gray air? Who’s your last one standing friend? Short breath Fast breath Can’t feel my face We spin like broken satellites Blue-Lipped Friday on the moon base Hope someone saves the night [Verse 2] We count it down by the bulkhead “Three Two…” twist that valve First it’s jokes and jittery dancing Then the floor begins to tilt Then revolve Cheeks go hollow Lips go violet Voices slur into static mush Chess board floating Cards in slow motion Every heartbeat a tidal rush [Chorus] Blue-Lipped Friday on the moon base Turn it down till the walls all bend Who’s still laughing in the thin gray air? Who’s your last one standing friend? Short breath Fast breath Can’t feel my face We spin like broken satellites Blue-Lipped Friday on the moon base Hope someone saves the night [Bridge] One by one they crumple Giggling Piled by the vending machine (oh) Eyes like glassy marbles Staring past the ceiling beams You’re the king of this bad idea Crawling on your hands and knees Finger finds the rusty dial Or does it? do you leave us Freeze? [Chorus] Blue-Lipped Friday on the moon base Turn it down till the walls all bend Who’s still laughing in the thin gray air? Who’s your last one standing friend? Short breath Fast breath Can’t feel my face We fade like busted satellites Blue-Lipped Friday on the moon base Pray someone saves the night
