Building a Ship 05:36
lyrics

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree If mankind perished utterly And spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely known that we were gone I'm about to break October 5th 2026 But that's us down there Just you and me they came out of the sky in their long silver craft you see? We're the Martians now. Haven't you ever wondered? uh uh well wouldn't it be fascinating if there were people there? and they traveled to space in some sort of ship Really Ela? You know I hate this emotional waning now let's get on with our work I'm letting aliens visit Emojis: the new hieroglyphic Fuck it I'm feeling terrific Lost my mind help me go get it Lost my mind help me go get it Building a rocket ship The Big Sound The rocket lay on the launching field blowing up pink clouds of fire making summer with every breath of it's mighty exhausts it seered the faces of the watching crowd You see? We're the Martians now. I've come from the third planet in a ship That's ridiculous Eli Everyone knows the third planet is incapable of supporting life Help me get it now. you know I hate this emotional waning now let's get on with our work Fight Fight Fight I'm letting aliens visit Emojis: the new hieroglyphic Fuck it I'm feeling terrific Lost my mind help me go get it Lost my mind help me go get it Building a rocketship The Big Sound I'm getting the hell out of here I'm cutting my ties I'm leaving the past behind Change my name to Eli the rocket vanished over the hill the sky was empty again why are you so bad tempered? it's only a dream. is it? You can't keep secrets from me The ship, It came from the sky again and a tall man stepped out and talked with me telling me little jokes and laughing he said I was beautiful and then he kissed me well he told me he would take me away in his ship into the sky take me back to his planet with him it's quite ridiculous really help me get it help me get it now Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree If mankind perished utterly And spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely known that we were gone well the voice spoke again and again and again Drink to me only Me My malaise and I will pledge with mine you should have heard yourself fawning on him talking to him singing with him all night but what about the rocket? We're going to blow up our rocket and start all over see if we can't build a better world up here I hope you don't mind too much but what about the Martians? When do we get to see them? There they are! Drink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine.

Suppose that you were a private detective and into your office walked a strange looking client would you believe him if they told you their was a Martian embassy hidden somewhere You're sending me things in languages that I don't understand I don't understand put you in the closet at any place and time in history look, we guarantee to teach you any languages you need to move freely in any year without risk of detection where spies from the martian planet were preparing for the invasion of earth How many hidden tunnels below the surface Do you think America's got? Isn't just one scary enough? Pablo Escobar up under the white house lawn We going Underground You ain't gonna hear us coming we're going to pull the floor out you ain't gonna hear a sound underground until the floor disappears from underground Underground They have to get us alone to put us in the time machine and send us back Well then that's it! We'll never be alone We'll never be alone We'll never be alone why not take your vacation in time the story goes on this couple is terribly important for a new project why not take your vacation? why not? why not? they escape into the past and they kill a man who follows them to bring them back Why not take your vacation in time as well as place? Underground, an explosion, a terrible explosion, and my hands burned and the building broke We'll get through someway I won't let you go back to that place where will we go now? Hello? Hello? "Mr...?" "Who's idea is this? It's 3 in the morning" "Yes yes. I just wanted to remind you that a rat may hide in the forest but a fox can always find them.

(A robot that is almost human) I'm alive in future timelines Spending time fucking with the stars I don't know what I believe anymore Had a vision of the rear end of a car Shoot that to my brother in a text He get's rear ended the next day No such thing as god I'm the one with prophesays I'm the one with prophesees I'm the one with prophesays I'm the one with prophesees Don't gotta believe me I'm crazy as Ye on good day My brain's mashed might need gravy My blood might be grey I cant love you I lie to your face I want to be human I am not one today Aliens fucking with my DNA They left something crawling in the right side of my brain I can not love you I lie to your face I'm not human when I lie to your face I Love You Lie to your face I love you Lie to your face I Love you Eli to your face I'm the one We lie to your face I'm the one and strangely enough it did sound Almost Human Lie to your face I'm the one with prophesays I'm the one with prophesees I'm the one with prophesays I'm the one with prophesees Lie to your face Almost Human It's the future I see I'm scared of that thing it's unholy a machine that acts like a human or that voice that's groaning the same things you'd expect from a child Didn't think I'd make it this far This game would glitch and send me right back to the start But I've been lucky catching quarters dropping from the stars Let's reboot this shit and get a fresh set of hearts It's the future It's the future, see? See!? He's learning very quickly It's the future you scared me I love you the last thing she heard was the robot's harsh voice groaning over and over again, "I love you" "I love you" "I love you" "Oh Stay Away" "I Love You" Almost Human, what a strange thing and strangely enough it did sound almost human Almost Human I'm the one Almost Human I'm the one Another adventure into the unknown world of the future Almost Human I'm the one "Don't touch me" "I love you" "No" "I love you" "No" "I love you" "No!" Almost Human, what a strange thing It's the future I see, dancing in front of me it's the future I see It's in front of me it's the future I see Almost Human Almost Human "You're Human?" "I'm almost human" "NOOOOO!" "I Love You" "No" "I love you" Don't! No!Next week a strange story, of other worlds the story of...

They won't stop growing There's a piece of star in my chin My best friend's an alien I wrote a letter to the dead I think I'm outside of my head There's a piece of star in my chin My best friend's an alien In the cemetary meditating Eyes roll back, just hit R.E.M. There's a piece of star in my chin My best friend's an alien I wrote a letter to the dead I think I'm outside of my head Head, head, the side of my chin Head head Wrote Wrote Wrote to the alien Eyes roll back, just hit R.E.M.   There's a piece of star in my chin My best friend's an alien I wrote a letter to the dead I think I'm outside of my head I wrote a letter to the dead I think I'm outside of my head I wrote a letter to the dead I think I'm outside of my head Head, head, the side of my chin Wrote Wrote Wrote to the dead Head, head, the side of my chin I wrote to the Alien "so long" he said and then , in spite of himself they were singing, "rise to the stars" Somebody has trimmed the bark off their voices I mean clearly somebody has killed the great tree. I think I'm outside of my head I think I'm outside of my head I think I'm outside of my head Head, head, the side of my chin Wrote Wrote Wrote to the dead Head, head, Head, Head, Wrote and wrote and wrote to the Alien
