Verse 1

Tonight
I travel at the speed of light
The Dog Star’s in sight
I’m flying to parts unknown
But I don’t know why
I keep on looking for a sign
For signs of life
Searching for answers high and low

Chorus 1

Now you see what you do to me
Ain’t no one else gonna set me free
I’m facing up to reality
You know, it’s always touch and go
It’s always touch and go-oh-oh-oh
Now I know, love is always touch and go

Verse 2

Tell me
Why nothing’s as it seems to be
Oh, tell me why
In hyperspace tonight
I’m waiting for you
To break the chains surrounding your heart
And escape from the past
Follow the stars the way I do

Chorus 2

Traveling through the darkened skies
I’ve found no love, it’s no surprise
I’m livin’ in a world of lies
You know, it’s always touch and go
It’s always touch and go-oh-oh-oh
Now I know, love is always touch and go

Bridge

Someday I will get through
I’ll find a way
To follow the stars that lead to you

Instrumental break

Coda

Now you see what you do to me
Ain’t no one else gonna set me free
I’m facing up to reality
You know, it’s always touch and go
It’s always touch and go-oh-oh-oh
Traveling through the darkened skies
I’ve found no love, it’s no surprise
I’m livin’ in a world of lies
You know, it’s always touch and go
It's always touch and go-oh-oh-oh
It's always touch and go
It's always touch and go-oh-oh-oh
It's always touch and go
It's always touch and go
It's always touch and go
It's always touch and go
It's always touch and go

Voiceover

See that Rocket Johnny
Got his Big Boys on
Been dreamin’ ‘bout the stars since ‘71

A different kind of Saturn used to grace the sky
A machine only someone like Johnny could fly

See him in his rocket
Johnny’s flying with the stars tonight…

Andromeda Rising 
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich

From the forthcoming album "Zero Gravity"

Chorus 1

What can you do
When the sun has surrendered the day?
Where will you go
When it no longer shows you the way?
Out in the deep
In the absence of light
Your destiny’s far out of sight
You’re sailing the stars for Andromeda rising tonight

Verse 1

One day you’ll find
All the things that you once held so dear
They’ve faded out of sight
You will fly
You will leave behind all of the fear
And run into the night
Traveling
To a place you are hoping to find
A home to call your own
And leave behind memories of a heart turned to stone

Chorus 2

So many years
Disappear in the vastness of space
Where the passing of time’s
Only marked by the lines on your face
Gazing into the deep
As the world fades away
Out ahead lies the cold endless night
Just seek and you’ll find Andromeda rising tonight

Verse 2

The journey ends
After light-years of searching to find
An island in the night
Where you will leave
All the heartache and troubles behind
Escape into the light
Forget the past
In a new life, a new galaxy
This world is calling you
Today you’re free
There is nothing more you need to do

Break

Chorus 3

When you arrive
And you land on that far distant shore
Will you recall
All the stars that you once saw before?
Staring up at the sky
Constellations are strange
The Milky Way’s vanished from sight
Now all you can see is Andromeda rising tonight

Coda

There’s no turning back
For the world left behind
Just open your eyes to the light
Now all you can see is Andromeda rising tonight
Rising tonight
Rising tonight
Rising tonight
Tonight…tonight…tonight…

Interstellar Dream
Words & music Michael Kauzlarich

Verse 1

In a world of neon lights and city streets
We’re blasting off into the galaxy
To synthesizers and a disco beat
We’ll dance among the stars for eternity 

Verse 2

Lost in the rhythm, flying weightless and free
Beyond the limits of space and time
Navigating zero gravity
We’re leaving Planet Earth behind

Chorus

Take me to the Milky Way
I want to fly, fly, fly away
Dancing to a disco beat
In this interstellar dream (interstellar dream)

Post-chorus

(Woo…ooo-ooo…ooo-ooo)
Interstellar dream
(Woo…ooo-ooo…ooo-ooo)
Interstellar dream

Verse 3

When the sun begins a brand-new day
On this golden world that we have found
To the rhythm we will move and sway
Watching the stars above us spin around

Repeat chorus

Fading Light
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2024 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)

Chorus 1

I travel with the fading light
Memories recalled throughout the night
Of a love that disappeared from sight
Now it’s gone beyond the fading light

Verse 1

Many years have gone by
Since I crossed the divide
And discovered a new galaxy
All the days that have passed
Disappeared much too fast
Maybe that’s the way love’s meant to be
I’ve been trying to find
A clue or a sign
A path through the stars back to you
Through the vastness of space
You’ve led me on a chase
But to follow is all I can do

Chorus 2

I travel with the fading light
Brand new worlds, they’re coming into sight
So blue, like islands in the night
They appear within the fading light

Verse 2

Near a star shining bright
There’s a signal tonight
It’s a sign of life out of the blue
Everything’s left behind
As I set out to find
A way that will lead back to you
Journey’s end drawing near
And the way now is clear
A planet appears in the night
Cities come into view
Yet there’s no sign of you
You remain hidden far out of sight

Instrumental solo

Coda

I travel with the fading light
To a home that lies deep in the night 
Now the stars will guide me on the flight
Leading me on through the fading light
I travel with the fading light
Searching for a lost love in the night
I will find a heart that’s worth the fight
Somewhere beyond the fading light

Fading Light

Come with me, love will set you free
Then you’ll see all the things we can be
Stay with me, there’s no other way
No, I can’t leave you here today
Take my hand, let’s run away

Verse 1

One look into your eyes
And I know that it’s true
You’ve been living a life in disguise
Here’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna take your hand
And lead you away
From the world that you knew
Never will I lead you astray
Don’t believe that it’s true?

Then I will show to you
You have no reason to stay
I believe today is the day
Let’s run away
Why don’t you…

Let’s leave it all behind
C’mon, throw it away
I know you think I’m out of my mind
But we’re leaving today

Trust your heart, we’ll find a way
Let’s run away
Now won’t you

To a world that is new
Never will I lead you astray

Gotta have you…

Chorus 1

You’re talking on the Telstar tonight
Connected to another heart on the end of the line
You’re talking on the Telstar tonight
Communicating in words that you cannot define

Verse 1

Standing there at childhood’s end
You’re gazing out into the starry skies
Across the Milky Way
Into the great divide
Searching for a beacon in the dark
A light to guide against the fall of night
Out there you will find the love you hide

Chorus 2

You’re talking on the Telstar tonight
Connected to another heart on the end of the line
(You’re on the Telstar tonight…)
You’re talking on the Telstar tonight
Communicating in words that you cannot define

Verse 2

Looking back upon your life
You never took a chance because you feared
The fire in his eyes
But tonight it’s very clear
Sailing for an island in the sky
You try to find the love you once denied
Just open your heart and feel the fear taking flight

Solo

Chorus 3 (repeat once)

You’re talking on the Telstar tonight
Connected to another heart on the end of the line
(You're on the Telstar tonight…)
You’re talking on the Telstar tonight
Communicating in words that you cannot define
(You’re on the Telstar tonight…)

Coda

On the Telstar tonight
On the Telstar tonight
On the Telstar tonight
You’re on the Telstar tonight
On the Telstar tonight
You’re on the Telstar tonight

Rocket Johnny (Synthetik FM 2025 Yamaha Remix)
Words & music by Michael Kauzlarich
© Copyright 2013 X-Sonic Limited (ASCAP)

Verse 1

See that Rocket Johnny, got his Big Boys on
Been dreamin’ ‘bout the stars since ‘71
Cruising down the highway with the Cape in sight
His motorcycle running underneath the Milky Way tonight

Verse 2

A different kind of Saturn used to grace the sky
A machine only someone like Johnny could fly
But his dreams turned to dust in the light of day
It’s only a mirage standing out there on 39A

Chorus

Tell me, where do we go from here
When the dreams we have all disappear?
Tell me, where do we go from here
When the end of the world is near?

Verse 3

He pulled into the parking lot and killed the lights
At the same place he played every Saturday night
He grabbed his guitar and he headed inside
Where he traded in the dream of taking that rocket ride

Verse 4

As he got up on the stage all across the floor
They called out: “Rocket Johnny!  C’mon rock it some more!”
He played Led Zeppelin and he played The Cars
But all he really wanted was to rocket out into the stars

Repeat Chorus

Verse 5

Back out on the highway heading ‘round the bend
It was there that Rocket Johnny finally met the end
They say that if you look up when the Moon is right
You will see him in his rocket
Johnny’s flying with the stars tonight

Repeat Chorus twice
