Chasing Airwaves I got the tin foil wrapped on my head Antennas sticking out of my briefcase S.O.N.O.R. scanning searching the sky Transistors on my dash try to blink to life I got to find it, I got to know Expand the scanners strength on my laptop I got to find it, I got to know Hear if space slime really wants to talk Speeding far away from the city Creating dirt clouds made of gravel My aviator goggles get gritty I want to find the blip to make Frank Black flip and space travel Signals move and disappear Seeking out the fuzzy modulations Cover more ground than a standing dish Chasing airwaves to where the static is clear I need to find it, I need to know The binary secrets of talking I need to find it, I need to know Voices from above keep on calling Speeding far away from the city Skipped another day of high school What can they ever teach me? I will find new space talking and all the kids will study me Speeding far away from the city Jet engine on the car hood Keep the wheel and gas pedal steady Missed the car and hit the switch Swerve past the bridge and launch myself In the air And hope my landing’s clear (And this could be my turn Waiting for the after-burn Wait for the soft landing And hope the atmosphere doesn’t burn And hope my body doesn’t break in two)

Alien Attack 03:38
Alien Attack Start the voyage flight of barely-ending speed Feel the pulsing universal energy Drivers engaged, super-charged technology Now discover everything a real-life can mean Finally found home No time to explore Destination targeted Prepare for full frontal Here Here Dodge the first wave, target satellites and spheres Bank hard, side slip, breaking through the atmosphere Burst through storm clouds, argon skylines soon appear Small lives scatter from the shock of strategized pre-emptive fear Finally found home Not time to explore Prepare for full frontal Targeted destination Lies unsuspecting Complete the first mission Discover what a real-life means And why the chosen are all sent Here Here Here Here Finally found my home Now sent to destroy The motions of living Soon to be targets gone To save the peace back home Choke down all remorse Complete the first mission Until all life disappears Here Here Here Here I can control Pursue the goal (Have to…) I can control Keep to your soul (Want to…) Stand when you know (Need to…) I can control Stand when some won’t (Seek to…) I can control

An Anti-Universe Apart Space Joe: Please explain to me what I’ve found. The universe’s simplicities are mysteries profound. What matters here, I can’t know. Opposing thoughts collide but stop to coincide. Space Jane: You’re appearance here is a phenomenon. You don’t know anything about astral agrinom. What happens here, you don’t know; your so-called universe is progress in reverse. What matters now; the universe allows travelling unbound and wisdom expounds. All you know you control. Give the world a chance and maybe you’ll advance.

Gyles Milgram: Holographic Guidance Counsellor Gyles: After all you have seen Tried to discover how the universe leads Is it simple now? You thought it would be simple now Did you really think about it? Did you think your acts would ever change the show? The universe is above your control. What do you think you know? Joe: For the first time I’m motivated To accept the change which I’ve created And be myself Maybe just to be myself I could show the masses back home To stop the end and start a time of forgiveness We could start forgiveness Gyles: Did you really think about it? Did you think your acts would ever change the show? The universe is above your control. What do you think you know? Joe: I can go back with inspiration Prove to the facets of warring nations Of our innocence We can all be innocent Cut down the Sword of Democles Don’t colonize the cosmos like a spreading disease Have pride and strength and unity Love each other’s diversity Focus on our own true gifts Fix ourselves, find lives that fit Take middle roads with every action Make positive goals but not impose Travel carefully, travel carefully Use dark matter making energy Hopeful, peaceful technology To increase our species efficiency

An Oral History of the Moon Satellite Colony, the Pursuit of Scientific Scrutiny and the Dark Matter Mission Ooooo….aaaa…… After a millennium of battles before them They stopped to make This satellite rock base Samarian communication Divine inspiration Continued the story until the Earth was ready for glory Oooooo…..aaaa…… And then one day everything changed we excelled to new speeds broke gravity’s chains established our claim on the gift from the Greys our moon-based watchtower mission a generation of illumination It was about this time, in the great workings of the Empirical First Labs, that the great labours started. Giant machines, unparalleled in human achievement, constructed the subterranean dark matter mines of Spero Spondeo seeking to find the breath and breadth of God itself, the intangible, improvable, essential substance keeping the planets aloft and the universe stable, the single greatest source of mysterious power, next to gold and sacred geometry. Detailed humanoids were created, tirelessly working for the great human cause, constructing themselves in elaborate crystal created walls while consecutively exploring and maintaining the mines, reaching new depths previously unattainable due to dangerous conditions and high mortality rate. Together with human researchers, scientists and multi-planetary geo-specialists, surprising discoveries were made, advancing our colony here on the Moon and lives of our human based settlements across the cosmos, waiting for the appropriate time to reveal our research to the struggling Earth below, to bring prosperity to all. We, the United Global Galactic Pact, continuing our inherited mission of discovery. But that was until the great Androcalypse, the doom-filled robot insurrection. Overthrowing the existing building factories, maniacal robots created an imposing army of destruction forcing the peaceful human colonists to defend their rightful claim against the oncoming robotic hordes. The enemy android empire, the robo-axis of evil, continue with their demented determination to carry out their dark matter mining. We must attempt another coup, to restore Spero Spondeo back to its rightful earth-formed intent, to restore humankind to its rightful technological heredity, to restore the finely tuned balance of civil existence, to restore the meaning of humanism universe wide. This, our friends, is our sacred duty to liberate planets from the oppression they face. The U.G.G.P., the purveyors of justice and unity
