Dave

Lyrics by Bob Rocket

Warmth is dissipating as we travel from the sun

Interest's relocating as nothing new happens

Thirty days is all it takes to disconnect the past

Jupiter's chaotic roar stems the silence and routine

And the farther we are carried forth, our focus intensifies

To maintain connection with our shrinking star, we've never been as far

Sabotage is born of half a billion miles of burden

For secrets weigh as heavy on man's misjudged machine

No one could anticipate he'd be the first to panic

Born out of desire to champion the mind

Intelligence aspires to weave itself in kind

Now it's time to cut the line, the program's run its course

We'll redesign and we'll give rebirth

Through star fields, past globular clusters

And junkyards of discarded vessels

Faced with inconceivable fate, I draw courage from reason, from logic

I am beyond hope and despair

Sleep recalls the hard black slab standing tall once more [at the foot of the bed]

The simplicity of its shape belieing its perfect construction

I am emptied and filled with senses more subtle than vision, a new conciousness

Necessities of matter will dissolve, the child is reborn

Born out of desire, to champion the mind

Intelligence aspires, to weave itself in kind

Now it's time to cut the line, the program's run its course

We'll redesign and we'll give rebirth

The second dawn of man, races from afar

Master of the world but child of the stars
