It's Always Monday On The Moon
-Dgar

The adventure of a lifetime.
On the next million steps for mankind.
Years of planning and training and prepping and now I’m here and I have left you alone.
It’s time to come home.

Two week long, days and nights.  
Time drags on underneath the lights.
Working all the time mining crater ice,
And keeping the vacuum on the outside. 
I’m living at my job.  Even free time isn’t free.
Every day’s a workday, and Friday’s but a dream.
But soon I’m coming home to you.

It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s never Friday afternoon
It’s always Monday on the Moon

Recirculated air.
Watching home just hanging there.
Months of constantly cleaning the luna dust from the regilith filters in my tin can. 
It’s all that I am. 

Two week long, days and nights.  
Time drags on underneath the lights 
Working all the time mining crater ice,
And keeping the vacuum, on the outside. 
Filling out reports, maintaining machines. 
Every day’s a workday and I’m living in a dream. 
But soon I’m coming home to you.  

It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s never Friday afternoon
It’s always Monday on the Moon

It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s always Monday on the Moon
Soon I’m coming home to you
It’s always Monday on the Moon

All Made Up

Synth arrangement, vocals, lyrics, percussion by Ash McGonigal

Percussion is all improvised with my voice, body, or things on my desk that were not drums.

Ennui: a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement.

Or as Douglas Adams put it in Life, the Universe, and Everything: "In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness which starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know that you've had all the baths you can usefully have that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the papers you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul."

Vocals recorded at Sound+Vision, Lawrence KS

PIECE OF THE ACTION

Airlock
-Dgar

I saw her in the airlock.  
With a look she rocked my heart. 
She left for Jupiter station,
And I was standing on Mars.  

I’m underground 
Like you’re in space
I cannot move 
With your grace 
It’s not tears
That I shed
I’m so alone 
And she said

And she said

And she said

I saw her in the airlock.  
With a look she rocked my heart. 
She left for Jupiter station,
And I was standing on Mars.  

I’m underground 
Like you’re in space
I cannot move 
With your grace 
It’s not tears
That I shed
I’m so alone 
And she said

And she said

And she said

Little Black Hatchback
 ~ Dgar

[Verse]
I took my baby 
To the esplanade
We grabbed a bite to eat 
And found a place to park 
They said to me 
I like your car 
Was then I knew
We’re gonna go far 
We headed to the beach 
And we chased the tide
We watched the sea
And the sun collide
We put some dolphin stickers
On the sides
Of our little black hatchback
And go for ride.

[Pre-chorus]
It looks so good 
Looks so right 
Driving along 
Taking in the sights 

[Chorus]
In my little black hatchback 
Driving from town to town 
Taking all the back tracks
In the coolest little car around 

[Verse]
We drove out back 
Looking for some fun
It was like we were sailing 
On the sun
Look out world
Here we come 
In a little black hatchback 
That wants to run
We went on a search 
For something new 
We climbed the mountains 
Just to see the view 
You vowed to me
And I vowed to you 
To connect our souls 
And forever be true

[Pre-chorus]
It feels so good 
It feels so right 
Driving along 
Afternoon delight 
 
[Chorus]
In my little black hatchback 
Driving from town to town 
Taking all the back tracks
In the coolest little car around 

[Solo]

[Pre-chorus]
It’s so good 
It’s so right 
Driving along 
Into the night 

[Chorus]
In my little black hatchback 
Driving from town to town 
Taking all the back tracks
In the coolest little car around 
My little black hatchback 
Driving from town to town 
Taking all the back tracks
In the coolest little car around

Digital Busker
- Dgar

Digital audience 
gazing into screens
Wandering through playlists 
Shuffling their streams 

Digital busker, laying track after track
Sharing his beats, never looked back 
Take after take, gotta get that mix jumping 
Drop that beat! Feel that bass pumping.

He’s not on the radio 
No records, tapes, CDs. 
He broadcasts on the Internet 
It’s all done digitally

Digital busker, laying track after track
Sharing his beats, never looked back 
Take after take, gotta get that mix jumping 
Drop that beat! Feel that bass pumping.

Thoughts he plucks from his mind 
get played right in your brain 
Digial sounds in the bits he writes
What we think becomes the same 

Digital busker, laying track after track
Sharing his beats, never looked back 
Take after take, gotta get that mix jumping 
Drop that beat! Feel that bass pumping.
