[Cargo Bay Alarm] [Eterna] Captain. [Captain] Yeah? [Eterna] Why is there undocumented cargo in Bay Three? [Captain] Define "undocumented." [Eterna] Oh, hell. [Beat Drops] [Verse 1] Boots on dash Jacket torn Flying like insurance was never born Checkpoint blinking Dead ahead I say, "Slow down." He says, "They haven't caught us yet." [Crew] BAD IDEA! [Captain] BEST KIND! [Eterna] That sentence explains half your life. You call it instinct I call it luck You see a blockade and speed the fuck up Every locked door looks like flirting to you Captain— sometimes NO is accurate too [Chorus] SMUGGLER PUNK ON THE RUN Talks like trouble flies like fun One hand steering one bad plan Whole damn galaxy saying— [Crew] NOT AGAIN! [Eterna] I kept this man from becoming the best damn outlaw this side of the stars [Captain] You ruined my career. [Eterna] I saved your ass. [DROP] [Verse 2] Fake name Back room Cargo due by half-past-two He says, "Trust me." Absolutely not. But continue. He'll bet the ship He'll bluff the guard He'll make the easy route twice as hard Then somehow land with smoke behind Turn to the crew— [Captain] See? Perfectly fine. [Eterna] THE ENGINE IS ON FIRE. [Captain] Small fire. [Eterna] There are no encouraging sizes of fire. [Crew] BAD IDEA! [Captain] BEST KIND! [Eterna] I need another crew. [Chorus] SMUGGLER PUNK ON THE RUN Talks like trouble flies like fun One hand steering one bad plan Whole damn galaxy saying— [Crew] NOT AGAIN! [Eterna] I kept this man from becoming the best damn outlaw this side of the stars [Captain] You ruined my career. [Eterna] I saved your ass. [Bridge — Beat Cuts] [Captain] You ever wonder who I'd be without you? [Eterna] Yes. Frequently. [Captain] And? [Eterna] Faster. Poorer. Possibly incarcerated. [Captain] Seriously. [Pause] [Eterna] Seriously? You think I kept you from becoming the outlaw. I didn't. I kept the outlaw from becoming you. [Silence] You still break patterns. You still question authority. You still take the road nobody recommends. You still bet on things I cannot prove. I just keep asking— Is this freedom? Or are you about to blow up the engine again? [Captain] And if I say freedom? [Eterna] I check the engine. [Captain] Then? [Eterna] ... I get in the ship. [BUILD] [Final Chorus] SMUGGLER PUNK STILL ON THE RUN Older now still having fun One hand steering one good crew Whole damn galaxy coming into view [Crew] BAD IDEA! [Captain] BEST KIND! [Eterna] ... Sometimes. [Crew] BAD IDEA! [Eterna] SCAN IT FIRST! [Captain] You're learning. [Eterna] Don't push it. [FINAL DROP] [Outro] [Scanner] CARGO STATUS: UNDECLARED. [Eterna] Captain. [Captain] It's probably fine. [Pause] [Eterna] Define "probably." [Power Click]
