[Instrumental Break] [Intro] (Space ship sounds) [Verse 1] WAKE-UP; cockpit glass vibrates at two, The coffee’s cold, the jukebox plays for you. Trans ponder codes we never meant to keep, Two solar clippers, us in cryo-sleep. [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] In the radiation wash where the beacons die, We’re two cold moons in a charcoal sky. Lightyears pile like transmissions that I’ll never send, Learning how a vacuum doesn't have an end. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] You said you’d meet me, but the plasma cut the truth, I still hear the "I love you—" that never made it through. The docking bell rings like a ghost’s evil laugh, We mapped the stars, but I only kept the lonely half. [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] In the radiation wash where the beacons die, We’re two cold moons in a charcoal sky. Lightyears pile like transmissions that I’ll never send, Learning how a vacuum doesn't have an end. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I still hear your boots on the metal grate, Leaving your jacket to its lonely fate. Time folds over like a star-chart's edge, Burning through the nothing on a jagged ledge. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] A pocket full of credits, a lighter with your name, Beacons sketch the silhouettes of love and of blame. Maybe dawn will clear the ghosts that haunt the night, Maybe passing stars will show mercy in our sight. [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] [Chorus] In the radiation wash where the beacons die, We’re two cold moons in a charcoal sky. Lightyears pile like transmissions that I’ll never send, Learning how a vacuum doesn't have an end. [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Alone on a Galactic Starway! [Instrumental Break] Transmissions and the lightyears that I can’t replace. Love forever Lost without a trace.
