The crash
05:21
|
|||
|
Traveling across the Milky Way
Cruising at 10 lightyears a day
I relax and let the computer
Monitor the flight parameters
Suddenly a red light starts blinking
The system has issued a warning
Gravity inversion field is low
Dark energy is failing to flow
Emergency procedure enabled
Hyperspace propulsion disengaged
Slowing down under the light barrier
Situation is becoming severe
Spaceship now making a u-turn
Heading to a yellow star called Sun
Navigation plan has been reset
Landing attempt on a blue planet
Plasma engine out of order
Fire onboard, critical failure
Imminent crash, trying to pull back
Countdown…5…4…3…2…1…Impact

I come from a place where huge rivers
Spring from volcano gaping craters
I come from a place where trees hover
In the air until the day’s over
I’ll never see my world again
I am bound to be an alien
I come from a place where flowers glow
Fields are milky ways to walk around
I come from a place where mountains grow
From meteor rains seeding the ground
I’ll never see my world again
I am bound to be an alien

Leave me alone
03:51
|
|||
|
Leave me alone
Just let me cry
Leave me alone
Don’t ask me why
Why do you frown?
Don’t let me whine
Don’t let me moan
Help me get by

Am I to blame
04:05
|
|||
|
I’ll never see the way you see
I’ll never hear the way you hear
I’ll never feel the way you feel
How can I blend in as an Earthling?
I am not made of flesh and blood
And I know you think it’s odd
I’m digital, you’re analog
Is this why you’re acting rogue?
My DNA is a flash RAM
My eyes are infrared cams
You and I’ll never be the same
But am I really to blame?
I’ll never dream the way you dream
I’ll never love the way you love
I’ll never cry the way you cry
How can I blend in as an Earthling?
I am not made of flesh and blood
And I know you think it’s odd
I’m digital, you’re analog
Is this why you’re acting rogue?
My DNA is a flash RAM
My eyes are infrared cams
You and I’ll never be the same
But am I really to blame?

Homesick
03:48
|
|||
|
I am alone
Away from home
I’m on my own
My world is gone
I have been grounded here for so long
Will I ever fly back to where I belong?
My ship is blown
Lightyears from home
Distress has grown
To depression
I have been grounded here for so long
Will I ever fly back to where I belong?
My mood is down
But I won’t drown
I’ll overcome
The situation
I have been grounded here for so long
Will I ever fly back to where I belong?

Damaged soul
04:22
|
|||
|
I’ve been feeling, since I booted up
A dizziness I can’t get over
What’s going on with my setup?
There’s something wrong I can’t figure
Speech disorder, confused mind
A virus of some kind
Neurons out of control
Blurred vision, damaged soul
It’s taking me synapse by synapse
My system is about collapse
I am slipping into darkness
Fading into unconsciousness
Speech disorder, confused mind
A virus of some kind
Neurons out of control
Blurred vision, damaged soul
I’ve been feeling, since I booted up
Somewhat awkward, a little messed up

Winter song
03:56
|
|||
|
My first winter here’s not as bad as I feared
Though my presence is still perceived as being weird
Snow flakes are dancing around me and I feel
Earth as my new home has become somewhat real
All is white and pure like I have never seen
All is bright and cures the bleakness of my dreams
My first winter here’s not as bad as I thought
I have come to like the trap in which I’m caught
I’m roaming around these immaculate hills
Though spoiled by mankind, this planet is a thrill
All is white and pure like I have never seen
All is bright and cures the bleakness of my dreams

Maybe I can
03:35
|
|||
|
I can hover in the air
Beam you up to Jupiter
I can fly faster than light
Make Einstein look not so bright
I can blindly navigate
Through an asteroid belt
I can escape a black hole
And even forward a phone call
But I will never kill the pain
I will never dry the rain
In the sky of your eyes
No matter how hard I try
I can translate any word
To any language I’ve heard
I can win an argument
Against any opponent
I can compute on the fly
One billion digits of Pi
I can never give a wrong
Answer to any question
But I will never kill the pain
I will never dry the rain
In the sky of your eyes
No matter how hard I try
I can see from your brainwaves
That you’re digging your own grave
I can see you’re feeling low
Want to help but don’t know how
I can keep singing this verse
Until you’re done with the curse
I can, maybe, take your hand
Maybe I can be your friend

I could be the one
04:40
|
|||
|
I go every now and then
Downtown hiding in the streets
Invisible citizen
I watch people and I wish
I could be the one who passes by
I could be the one who shuts his eyes
I could be the one who says goodbye
I could be the one who wonders why
I switch to transparent mode
And I wander unnoticed
Lost among the rushing crowd
I watch people and I wish
I could be the one who passes by
I could be the one who fakes a cry
I could be the one who talks with pride
I could be the one who walks all night
…One who passes by
I could be the one who stops a while
I could be the one who gives a dime
If I could be once this plain old guy

Flying back
03:55
|
|||
|
I’m flying back
I’m flying back
I’m flying back
To Andromeda
The time has come
To spread my wings
I’m moving on
With no hard feelings
I’ll soon be gone
The solar winds
Will fly me home
With my fellow beings
