your life is a piece of music you don't know how to conduct yourself anymore the violins rush into the void I'd pluck my harp but I refuse to join in attack sustain release decay you race to the end and its drenched in delay attack decay sustain release the tempo is dragging for gods sake play another piece this song I sing cost me so much time I whistle your theme when I'm having a shower ominous buzz of a rattling snare the girl on the french horn smiled sadly at me attack sustain release decay you race to the end and its drenched in delay attack decay sustain release the tempo is dragging for gods sake play another piece Remember that night you came to me you said Id like to meet the orchestra can it be arranged you were amazed at all the drinks and the cellos and horns we stood on the balcony staring at the dawn and it seemed like...

Rendezvous 04:44
I gather your camera is busted now it can't capture anymore thoughts the nightmares come in the morning now they can't wait any longer 1950s kitchen another cup of milky tea alone in an enchanted isle the supermarket closing in on me Rendezvous we nearly had a Rendezvous I hear your silly little voice at the door but the needle is stuck you stand there empty handed in the dim woozy light you say all the pipes have all burst On a foreign midnight freeze The high commissioner is searching low for you You chose the wrong option now please refund my life you always said the best was yet to come you made it seem like anything was possible the road to hell I gotta tell you is nearly almost is under reconstruction you always said the best was yet to come Rendezvous we nearly had a Rendezvous we nearly had a

wind is calling trees are sighing all of those sounds they sing your name rain is falling night is falling and I feel just about the same message sending passage bending all of those feelings create your face dawn arriving fear is thriving and I site and I think + I pace crying for a triumph searching for release they've noticed we are missing but they're barking up the wrong tree my head is flanged, camouflaged by desire looking for a miracle digging in the dirt for Troy the train is gonna leave we paid all the money to the wrong boy my shoulders frozen and the banks are closing now

Insane 03:47
a dynasty of fools a price upon my head oh my lord how I bow and scrape to please you your power is insane lets do it all again your power in vail please don't blame me again the merchant with your wine the serpent in your vine oh my lord how I bend and bow to please you the moment in your hand the remnant in the sand oh my lord how I twist and break to please you your power is insane lets do it all again your power in vail please don't blame me again the demons up ahead the jam upon the bread oh my lord how I slip and slide to please you the aces up your sleeve the woof and warp and weave oh my lord how I drown and burn to please you your power is insane lets do it all again your power in vail please don't blame me again again and again

Halfway 03:57
you walk the tightrope you juggle the past the stuff that you cleverly arranged was never gonna last you burn the candle you fan the flames its gotta be nice to put faces to all the names when you come down to earth I will meet you half way when you come back to life I will meet you half way you whisper a prayer you spit out a curse the books and the films and the dogma in which your immersed you walk the tightrope you soar and you fall you leave no memory or trace its like you were never here at all when you get out of bed I will meet you half way when you rise from the tomb I will meet you half way when you come down to earth I will meet you half way when you come back to life I will meet you half way

when you woke out of a dream when you got out of the car a light was shining on you all the time the light was shining on you all the time when you spoke out of desire when you sat down on the ground a hand was guiding you all the time when you stumble + you fall when you rise above it all a love was charging you up all the time a love was charging you up all the time when you go to school on the first day when you lie down in your grave a world was waiting for you all the time a world was waiting for you all the time a world a hand a world a hand all the time

Holiday 04:20
The rusted wrecks of yesterdays GTs still writhing in the bush long time ago must a been a holiday must have been a long long long weekend glory glory sometimes I think of those beautiful days beautiful nights I spent with you sometimes I think of those beautiful days those beautiful nights I spent with you must a been holiday a holiday the broken glass and pebbles the weeds and the sand the caravan sometimes I think of those beautiful days beautiful nights I spent with you sometimes I think of those beautiful days those beautiful nights I spent with you glory glory must a been holiday a holiday sometimes I think of those beautiful days beautiful nights I spent with you sometimes I think of those beautiful days those beautiful nights I spent with you must a been holiday a holiday

about

Jupiter 13
A foreseeable calamity. A triumph of science.
The last straw. Not what you think it is.
A top secret. Mans basic inhumanity to man.
The impossibility according to physics. Events trigger matter.
An infinite regression. A preventable catastrophe in the future.
Investigations are underway. Call girls. Drugs. Photographs. Blackmail.
Theft of dangerous materials. The underworld. The dark web.
The manipulation of dream. The war we waged on each other and the aliens.
Ray Guns and particle acceleration. The charge that blew apart the mains.
Witchcraft and black magic. Playing around with Anti matter.
The ordinary man in the street, a day in his life.
The memory of phone calls never made.
Komarovski do you read me.
The colonel in the gentlemens club sloshed on gin. Debris orbits a tiny moon.
Richardson is on the phone: we wanna talk to you about Jupiter 13.
Yeah I bet you fucking do!
Still there is music. Attack...Decay... Sustain ... Release...
Richardson hangs up somewhere in the past.
Time travel has been happening but the yanks won’t give us our go.
And we chucked in all that money.
Martin prepares an escape pod which will double as his recording studio.
He will float unconscious dreaming up symphonies that will be recorded by the software encoded in his spine.
Stefan H in Germany will know our mission is over and will play
one last lasting sweeping arpeggio which will signal the curtains.
A disaster. A mistake. A miracle. A mystery. Jupiter 13.
One hundred years until they open the files.
Goodnight.
Im trapped in the airlock and theres no gravity.
