A particularly lively recruiter from Near Belt Minerals Inc. makes his pitch from atop an overturned rubbish bin on the eve of mankind's near -total destruction as a man seeks to flee from all memory of his lost love.
lyrics
Star Shot
Come with me and pleasures I will prove
The undiscovered treasure of the stars
Our damaged mother still withholds her love
While unbounded desire waits for us
Heed me now I'm offering you fire
With which to burn your earthly chains away
And float up to a new and brighter day
Just let yourself let go it'll be okay
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
We're flying through the barrel of a gun
Flying through the barrel of a gun
Ecstasy at the center of the sun
Can I just say something about those chains
You grip them way more tightly than they you
You wonder without chains well what remains
And I say everything that's truly true
