I recorded this in one take with an Arturia Keystep sequencing the Waldorf Blofeld after listening to Laurie Spiegels The Expanding Universe for the first time. Enjoy.

2088
not a single cloud up in the sky
where is the rain
1000 tons of harvest gone awry
everyday
bodies in the haze
not a single guilty spark to find
when you look away
now the split as deep as it is wide
but the economy’s great

we're going too slow, pal
sowing some hope now
to invert the slowdown
shed the golden crown
so why don’t we turn around?
grow and get mowed down
when the birds have flown out
time for the showdown

picking up the pace
seeing it through other people’s eyes
and don’t look away
even if you need to force a smile
it will make a change
closing the embrace
getting there to find some common ground
is no piece of cake
every single face lined in a frown
there's no other way

for no one
we don't have enough
for no one
we can't have it all
you say?

brother, lay your eyes upon this mass
see just how far it extends
stretching as far as the eye can see
massive, this endless expanse
feeling the waves of the ocean
how they push up against the sand
listen, the waves play a song now
they play it with watery hands

i wanna know all about it
i wanna change all that i can
i wanna know all about it
i wanna know it firsthand

plastic, persistent for thousand years
relentless omnipresence
belching fumes into the atmosphere
go crank up the thermostat
cranked it, turned oceans to acid
we wasted every habitat
knowing, we might never see them
we will never see them again, no

i wanna tell y’all about it
we will never see them again
i wanna tell y’all about it
we won't ever see them again
wanna do something about it?
use common sense if you can, yeah
you can

good times, two of us
head up in the sky, so high
back then, tools in hand
step into the light, so bright
back when, we were cheeky little devils
wanted to be higher, oh yeah
higher, allrighty then

hot air in the box
wanna come inside? good times
better times, plus one
head up in the sky, so high
back when, we were cheeky little devils
wanted to be higher, again
higher, allrighty then

drums in the pocket
want it to be tight, so tight
synths in the socket
gonna be so nice, so nice
now we are back, back to make it happen
now we are on fire, again
wired, all night again
back on the track, back to shake the floor
but why the hell are we so tired again?
wired, all night again

anything that i can do
i’ll try to do my best for you
how many holes does this ship have in its hull?
how do we leave it for you?
even if i know i cannot fix them all
i will do all i can do
remember the times when you were small?
and i could not have been more psyched to see you grow
can you recall i held you on my arm 
and jumped around until we bumped into the wall
one thing at a time
take them on, one at a time
all i can do
i'll do for you
how many lives can this lonely planet hold?
how many angles of view?
even if the times should really roughen up
i will do all i can do
can you remember riding on my back?
do you remember all the thoughtless smiles we cracked?
remember the times they cut your horns?
colorful paintings on the white hospital walls

lightning striking, unite it, united
now that i am here
giving all of me, pushing constantly
so that i’ll make it
spending all of me, dig right into it
feel it, stronger every day
i hold on

there's a thousand ways, relive, reset
and a thousand wounds to mend along the way

lightning striking, unite it, united
now that i am here
losing all control, giving into it
so glad i did it
all the energy feeds back into it
free for now and forever
to let go

there's a thousand ways, relive, reset
and a thousand smiles to share along the way

Lightning

so long ago this sheepish notion
has it been a worthwhile goal?
no doubt about its worth or value
it became the monopole
in memory scent lingers longest but 
it's been so long ago
and with you being neither here nor there
somewhere between heart and soul
in memory touch fades like morning mist
it's been so long ago
skip ahead to see the outcome
not enough to break the mold
without it breaking what its meant to form
skip to see it swallowed whole
the implications, none too helpful now
they grow out of control
and with you being ever far away
ever onward on the road
and the fire that fills my longing soul
it burns out of control
so far away
-what’s that force-
keeping me going
-hold the line-
a line to hold onto
so far away
-there’s your voice-
the line to hold onto
-what’s that ticking-
i can't be long now
we're almost there
