[Intro] [Bright acoustic guitar strumming] [Upbeat drum groove enters] [Sound of switches clicking] [Spoken in a cheerful British accent] (Right then, systems green.) (Gravity stabilizers online.) (Don't look so nervous, mate!) (It's going to be a good day.) (Let's roll!) [Verse 1] Got a messy cabin, shirts on the chair But the navigation's handled with the utmost care I left the salutes and the medals behind To help the folks that the Federation can't find I'm not looking for statues, not looking for fame Just a chap with a ship and a simple name [Pre-Chorus] Scanning the radar through the endless black As long as you're with me, I've got your back (We're in this together) A bit clumsy with a pen and a form But I'm a steady rock in the solar storm [Chorus] Oh, ride the wind, tear across the night Two shadows passing in the fading light Plasma on my hip, fire in my soul Getting us home is the only goal From the core worlds out to the frontier dust This bucket of bolts is the place we trust [Verse 2] The galaxy is massive and the dangers are deep But we keep the promises that we make to keep I might spill my drink, might joke a bit too much But the engines purr at the slightest touch Let others fight for the power and gold We'll share the whiskey and the stories told [Bridge] [Music builds up emotionally with drums] When the shields go down and the warnings scream I'll be the wake-up call in the bad dream I won't leave you stranded in the cold vast We'll stand our ground 'til the danger is past [Spoken] (Yeah, right here, mate) [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, soaring Electric Slide Guitar Solo] [Warm, heroic tone] [Chorus] Oh, ride the wind, tear across the night Two shadows passing in the fading light Plasma on my hip, fire in my soul Getting us home is the only goal From the core worlds out to the frontier dust This bucket of bolts is the place we trust [Outro] [Music volume lowers] [Spoken with a laugh] (See? Smooth sailing.) (You can put the kettle on next time, mate.) [End]
