I want to be like Flash Gordon
Spend all my time with the stars
Seduce the Emperor's daughter
From Planet Mongo to Mars
I want to blast off of this rock
And come home to parades
Fighting off suits of rubber
Show them I'm not afraid

I want to be like Flash Gordon
Too American to die
Blue eyes, blonde hair, and a brick house
I wouldn't even have to try
I want to find my Dale Arden
And just leave her behind
I want to be like Flash Gordon
You know you're never gonna change my mind

I want to save the world
For myself, and no one else

Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (demo)

I never saved on introductions
I always said goodbye too soon
You'd listen to me perform functions
I'd listen to my damsel swoon
Hey hey

But what can one man do against radar men from the moon?
It's too soon

Leather gloves leave my palms sweaty
Firey jetpacks burn my ass
Atomic blasts leave lead confetti 
And burn their scorch marks in the grass
Hey hey

But what can one man do against radar men from the moon?
It's too soon

I never thought that I was ready
I've always been a bit confused
Took all the courage I could carry
I held my breath and lit the fuse 
Hey hey

But what can one man do against radar men from the moon?
And what could I have done against a ray-gun the size of the sun?
And what could I have said? the whole planet was as good as dead
It's too soon


Radar Men From the Moon (demo)

Planets and turtles and cognitive circles
Equal reactions, all fruitful and fertile 
And I never wanted to sever my tethers 
From Undersea Kingdoms, on top of these turtles, oh

All the way down

Spaceships shake sinking to klaxons and blinking
In singular oceans, all static and breathing 
I've gotten used to the nausea and fever	
And holding back cold sweats with warm wishful thinking, oh

All the way down

Counting my chances, eclipsing romances
Forward momentum in reactive dances
I can't believe it, the weight on my shoulders
But pressure's all I feel from abyss Atlantis, oh

All the way down

Undersea Kingdom (newer demo)

Flash Gordon Demo

mercury's so far away
and venus, just too far away
and mars is oh-so far away
and jupiter's the same
saturn's oh-so far away
uranus, just too far away
and neptune's pretty far away
and pluto's all the same

but i wonder if i'll ever leave this place
and i ain't holding my breath

i've been away five hundred years
tucked iceburg beds in frozen fear
i guess that it's still cold out here
and nothing else has changed
but if i found the words to say
that space and time, to my dismay,
were simple games of child's play
but wars i couldn't win

then i'd wonder if i'd ever see her face
but i ain't holding my breath

but boston's just too far away
and easton's really far away
and 'gansett's oh-so far away
and burlington's the same
so when you tell me this ain't home
i shed my robes and i throw my throne
i just like always leave alone
and try not to look back

but i wonder if i'll ever fall from grace
and i ain't holding my breath

i won't hold my breath
i might hold my breath
i'll just hold my breath
as i hold my breath
as i wonder if i'll ever fall from grace

i'm still holding my breath

"The happy ending of the fairy tale, the myth, and the divine comedy of the soul, is to be read, not as a contradiction, but as a transcendence of the universal tragedy of man." - Joseph Campbell
