We Got Holidays

Starmap open on my screen Calendar full of little dreams First it's Stella Fortuna green Gold trails where the rockets used to scream Raise a glass to a dusty sky First red world in a pilot's eye We paint the dark in emerald light Say a toast to every first flight We got holidays among the stars Filling quiet hangars Crowded bars From frozen docks to busy bazaars Every port remembers who we are Yeah We’re chasing credits Chasing scars But tonight it’s wishes in a jar Holidays among the stars Holidays among the stars Red Festival Lantern moons Crimson slips tucked into rooms Little luck in a folded square Tuck it deep Nobody stares Then comes Vara in late-year chill Ghost stories on a silent hill Derelicts in a dead-black drift Laugh too loud so the fear can't stick (hey!) Every system Every zone Feels a little more like home When the banners catch the glow And the timers all run slow We got holidays among the stars Filling quiet hangars Crowded bars From frozen docks to busy bazaars Every port remembers who we are Yeah We’re chasing credits Chasing scars But tonight it’s wishes in a jar Holidays among the stars Holidays among the stars Luminalia on the twenty-two Snowfall on the plexiglass view Wrapped boxes by a cargo crane Kids racing through the docking lanes Share your stash with a stranger’s grin Warm hands in the engine wind Every gift is a kind of flame Tiny suns with someone’s name (ooh) We got holidays among the stars Filling quiet hangars Crowded bars From frozen docks to busy bazaars Every port remembers who we are Yeah We’re chasing credits Chasing scars But tonight it’s wishes in a jar Holidays among the stars Holidays among the stars
