Goodbye 02:26
double mind - he walks alone | double voice - he now must roam | reach up and shear the sickly thread | which links your thoughts to your head - Goodbye
2.
Everyday seeps to the next, from street to street and dusk till' desk Crowded no ones in an empty room | Everyday the Will To Believe falls asleep his hands in his sleeves. Going nowhere | Bloated page and dreams of greed code the leads.... going nowhere | But in secret I've prepared! | Since I was 17 | All joking aside this apartment will rise! | A monkey crew has been assembled | Gauges checked and blue prints resembled | Heading straight for nowhere | Going nowhere...
3.
A prick of blood, | an ounce of fear, | a bit of mud, | then you appeared. | You seemed surprised, | but also know | we've both surmised | you'll be my faux. | It must hard to be so me, | the guilt you feel | has been my fee. | All this time | you've been so near, | tucked away | but so sincere. My face, your own | Brother Clone | My life, your own | Brother Clone Genetic farm | you've been the charm! | To my escape | I must quickly make.

Mobile Home 03:10
Before we go we will bestow this last one | We'll let you know below is stored a 'fast one' | On you from me for your decrees and functions | Somehow we've always known | why to call the mobile home It's up to you to undo the fasten | We'll let you know how it go'd in the past tense | The lights dim low and the clouds draw near | Look out and say, 'Goodbye atmosphere' | To call the mobile home | To've freed him and to've flown | The panic, the dust and the drone | of our Brother Clone!
6.
Goodbye! | We've reached the blackened skies | Reply to the ground we've been untied | Alive! | Out here one can't deny | Believe me when I say | The Big Drift's the answer | It relieved me of that voice, that song, the glance heard. | Please Try to understand this folly | I'd die if you we're to find it appalling | Believe Me when I say | The Big Drift's the question | It's the only thing I've felt worthwhile to mention | Collide with the self that's held you down | Realize the you in you is bound | Believe me when I say | The Big Drift's the gospel | A gift to wound the healed and turn the timid hostile
7.
Oh! I am your space trolley man, | here to bring you what news I can. | While you were away, a way up here | your girl has fallen in love, oh dear! | It's not as bad as you might think. | It's not some goon or some ratfink. | It's yourself, oh well, your clone. | You can't just go and leave your baby alone. | You might have felt so fancy free, but for you now there's jealousy!
8.
We'll change directions | This much is clear | We've sought perfection | but not the pure | While we took suggestions | he held her near | While we built confections | she disappeared | The unknown is less than what is known | Seeing, believing: these are shames and now it shows | The adventure's over | let's turn around | But the lights are blinking | the alarm bells sound | Doors will open, words will swallow | Love will beckon, clones will follow

Rocket side, silver glide The arch is drawn, the sky to become | a slow escape: the moonlyscape. | But the landing gear is stuck my dear... | Air is thin | An impish grin comes over the crew. I wish that they knew | Drift away | and come what may, but the landing gear is stuck my dear...
11.
Before and behind us the veil sinks yet sails | What steps forth reminds us of why logic fails | And up ahead, and yet below, the women stare | They are lost, yet now are found, are they even there? | Widows with play things strewn across the lawn. | Honeymooners at the wake, they console themselves with song: | "My love, it's not your eyes the problem's not the fourth dimension, | My dear, it's not your mind the problem is the place you've come from" | Go ahead weep for the kites, kata is always known. | Go ahead fall down the stairs, ana is always home | "My love, wipe your eyes the problem's not the fourth dimension, | My dear, clear your ears the problem is the place you've come from" | Oh vision don't stray from me - I make my plea | And with that the light is gone. And so is she. | Oh love please shift my eyes so I'll always see the fourth dimension, Oh dear please fix my tongue so this place I won't mention.
12.
We've landed on the border of a strange land. | The sounds resound on the ground just like a tin can | Sensors read the odor of the ozone | What kind of thing could live in this unknown? Off in the clear, they make their way near. It's mechanically clear | "We are your lost sons!!! There's no where to run!!!" | Parade: wandering to the horizon Charade: splitting the hares from the lion on the grave | Parade: life springing forth from division | Charade: knowing the part of the master and the slave | In their grasps we understand their meaning. | It's been us all these years they've been feeding. | With the dream to escape our homelife. | Like a plate of honey left for the buzzing swarm We've taken the bait into our minds in hypnotic form | "There's nowhere to run"

14.
It seems it's a lovely day for flights | for teams of the others we've left to plight | In dreams the ocean swallows the ground who'd of ever thought that I would be let down? | In the stars are we alone? Or are we home in this ocean of bone? | We were snails in comparison | It was shale that crumbled away | Where were we desirable? And where were we safe? | Show me adventure and I'll show you something gray....Sailing through the living dying. Sailing through the living dying. Sailing through the living dying.
15.
Won't tell you any lies my dear friend. | You're about to die, at your life's end | Nothing left but bone on your face. | But I've brought your clone to this space | A grave you may not own in this case He'll peel away his skin for you sir! | Now go and crawl right in this strange fur. He's the hero of the day, 'twas his plan | It doesn't take a birth to make a great man.

Upon Reentry 00:54

Homelife 04:35
Once the route drew toward dream | but the dream is now Homelife | The path unfound: Homelife | From shell to self,from rot to health | The fleeing weed becomes the potted seed | To live as one: Homelife | Conjure undone: Homelife | From know to known: Homelife | The dream is now Homelife.
