LYRICS:

He first learned the word "star" in a nursery rhyme
A verse sung to Mozart, a theme he heard every night
And when they told him to shoot for the moon he knew he would do it
Moving beside the planets, dancing to the tune of their music

Readin DK space encyclopedias, recesses missed
Each weekday at six, space episodes on PBS kids
He'd watch the comets flyin, learned at twelve to spot Orion
Read Dawkins, Hawking, Tyson, and then moved on to rocket science

Soon traversed the universe, flew unburdened, swooped and swerved
Left behind the rules of Earth and hung a right by Jupiter
Floatin on past Oberon, every heavenly deity
Slowly drifting freely but alone towards the Pleiades

He saw the spirals of galaxies in his fingerprints
The patterns of Saturn's rings depicted on every single tip
And gazed into the past at a perforated black canvas
Full of tiny lanterns that may already have half vanished

He was a speck of dust in the celestial ether
Left the clutches of Mother Earth, uncertain when next he'd see her 
A part of the stardust, the hardest part was losing track
Of his human past and future, consumed in the blue and black

And after so long as a cosmic message in a bottle
He wanted a shore to wash up on, a modern day Apollo
Post-Sagan space vagrant drained from aimless astral drift
His addled brain turnin asteroids to asterisks

At a loss, thoughts turned to his life before blasting off
"I just want to go home" admitted the astronaut
And as his words reverberated cross light-minutes, they found a soul
"So come home", through the static came the sound of ground control

But when he turned around to face the void in the dark
He heard "ｓｏ  ｃｏｍｅ  ｈｏｍｅ" spoken from a voice in the  stars
But when he turned around to face the void in the dark
He heard "ｓｏ  ｃｏｍｅ  ｈｏｍｅ" spoken from a voice in the stars

Lyrics:
It's been about thirty two minutes or so/
and I'm clutching foolish optimism like she'll slip through the door/
and sit down with a story, telling of traffic -
"Would you care for a refill?"/
yeah, thank you, sorry I tend to overshare with people/
it's just I've had quite the crush on her for - "I'll be right back with your drink"/
oh well, it's only been sixty-one minutes I think/
clink ice cubes with a straw, the table's candles forming puddles/
rest my fist below my jaw, her car could be the source of trouble/
but she hasn't read the multitude of texts I sent, and I won't reprehend/
like it could be an emergency, or she went to bed, maybe she just -/
"Sorry to interrupt, but are you ready to order?
we're closing soon, I recommend the lobster on arugula, the dish is new and-"/
No, I'll get the fettuccine, please, with chicken/
text her one last time, it's urgent, damn, she knows the evening's ticking/ 
like I'm a decent guy, well, at least from what I've heard/
I don't think I'll find the courage to stand up and say goodbye/

and I'm still waiting, wait here oh so patient/
wait here all long night, resolve never waning/
and still I'm waiting, wait here oh so patient/
wait here all long night, I'm waiting and waiting/

I'm waiting for her to reply to my text/
I know it says "seen" but maybe she didn't see it just yet/
"I guess, but you've been here for three days, that doesn't seem strange to you?"  
So what? She's late, and this table's purely made for two/
my plate of food, has grown a bit cold in the past month/ 
but it's not too far fetched for someone to run late and catch up/
any second now, she'll- 
"Do you want this to go, or should I just throw it out, it's been a year-"/
No thanks, no point in acting like it's over now/
I know my beard's an overgrowth and I'm becoming one with this chair/
but a decade's nothing, I won't be the one who's under-prepared/
for the future, cause she'll arrive and we'll survive the ruins/
until time folds in upon itself, so what's your two cents?/
...hm, I guess he left or he closing up the business/
I can hear metallic thumping and explosions in the distance/
a stray dog is chewing on a human bone right by the entrance/
there's barbaric men outside and all they're toting make-shift weapons/
I just think it's odd she's hasn't tried to phone or send a message/
but I'll wait right here 'til time as we know it is non-existent/
I'll just wait here and drink until the last one's dry/
I mean c'mon really, I'm a stand up guy/

Lyrics:

I peck at the perfect Peking duck she cooked just for me
we sit at her table, my thigh’s touching her foot underneath
she sips her wine then asks if I like it with the Hoisin dip
while I pretend I haven’t realized she poisoned it

I lie and deflect with a classic bathroom excuse
and run the tap before I puke the food I had to consume to keep up the ruse
I return to her refilling her glass
as I try to discern if mine was mixed with pills from her batch

but eh, perhaps I’m being overly cautious
also deploying this protective shield is so damn exhausting
it’s just a date, but I can’t this shake this awful feeling
that she’s a siren, deadly black widow, femme fatale in secret/

hold up, wait, what’s the reason she chose me over any other
she’s just feigning interest in me as to not blow her cover
it’s smart, so I take a bite and compliment the meat
‘cause I can feel the eyes of the sniper who’s perched across the street

a perfect date, a perfect murder for tonight
a lovely evening or a planned out homicide
it’s a perfect date, a perfect cover for a crime
the first of many or the first and final time
X2

She washes off the Ginsu blade, I clean the table up and
I silently wish that we had had this lovely date in public
she starts raving ‘bout true crime and then motions towards the couch
throws a documentary on right before I go turn her down

but before I know it my escape hatch slams shut
and we’re midway through exposés on crazed bandits, man hunts
assassins and kidnappers, serial killers, and such
when I spy what looks just like a pistol in her bag, tucked

so I whip out the bathroom excuse, but it comes out jumbled
“I need to bath the room use!” - like full on run and fumble
then I slink through the hallway out of sight and tie up my hi-tops
burst into the night, sprint outside of the sniper’s eye shot

safe and sound, except for those phoney vehicles
unmarked vans and CIA agents disguised as homeless people
under toxic chemtrails, and reptilians with different coloured fangs
at least I left her place unscathed to live another day

A Perfect Date... To Die For (prod. Garrett.)

Things can always get better, we just have to weather the storm until we get there.
