This is the story of The Life Star A living starship with all my friends, on a journey through the cosmos We travel from planet to planet, shining light, spreading love, and searching for a home we lost a long time ago Each time we touch down, we hope it will be the last We can't wait to meet you I hope we can be the best of friends Now hold tight The fun is about to begin Deep space Alone in the dark A galaxy with nothing to do An AI and a couple of guys, I don't know... It's all we got for a crew Look up ahead, a pale green dot, crossing right up into our view Let's set 'er down We got a clear shot Just dropping in from out of the blue We roll in; light the planet up We got the color and the sound Let's show these boring fucks a thing or two Next stop: Just around the sun Looking for some fun We're coming hard, spraying down the hot love We shoot rainbows in the sky Living 'til we die Staying high Never cry Gonna try to make your planet light up Nice place Seems alright Think we'll hang out here for a while Looks like a world gone dark so we think you'll dig our Vibes & Style Start you off with some home-world drugs Lift you right up into the sky Y'all need a dose of that space invader love We're able if you're willing to try (It's up to you) Get wild, make 'em smile and forget all about your boring lives and all the heartache that you're feeling inside Don't stop Let's put on a show Let the people know We wanna party so you'd better fill your cup Gonna shine the world a light Get down every night Turning wrong into right Gonna try to make your planet light up Tryin' to make your planet light up Tryin' until the planet lights up Next stop: Just around the sun Looking for some fun We're coming hard, spraying down the hot love We shoot rainbows in the sky Living 'til we die Gonna try to make your planet light up Don't stop Let's put on a show Let the people know We wanna party so you'd better fill your cup Gonna shine the world a light Get down every night Staying high till we die Staying high till we die Gonna try to make your planet light up

Get back Yeah, I'm not from here I'm from a planet far, far away baby (Hey, me too!) The planet of groove The planet of move At first glance, I might seem like a regular guy (He's not) (He's not a regular guy) But I've got plans You know I won't be passing you by (Won't be passing you by) You've got to move it We got everything that you need (Everything that you need) Can't hold it against me when I wear my heart on my sleeve Alright We're coming to your town Open up our world to you Hold tight Take you for a ride Blow your expectations Oh You want it Don't stop This won't be superficial (No, it won't be superficial) Oh Like it or not, you're an earthbound individual (You're an Earth individual) Yeah, you're totally from Earth I can see that home ain't really feeling like home (No home, go home, phone home) I know a place, a planet you can call your own (I know a place, I know a place, I know a place) You and me together The odds are astronomical We can do whatever The plot is non-canonical You've got to make it and we'll ride it right into the sky Alright The sun is going down and all the stars come out for you Hold tight We'll take you on a ride Anywhere you want to go Oh We'll take it to the top The truth is most fictional (The truth is most fictional) Oh Shake it 'till it pops You're an earthbound individual You're an Earth individual Where I come from, we never die Alright Whoa, take it to the moon We're gonna take it to another galaxy baby Coming from outer space All up in your face We got so much love We got so much love (We're gonna get so very high) We got so much love to give (High) We got so much love (High, up in the sky) We got so much love We got so much love to give Yeah Alright The sun is going down and all the stars come out for you Hold tight We'll turn the volume loud Live our life in stereo (Stereo) Oh You want it Don't stop This won't be interstitial (No, it won't be interstitial) Oh Like it or not, you're an earthbound individual (You're an Earth individual) Oh Take it to the top Truth is mostly fictional (Truth is mostly fictional) Oh You want it Don't stop You're an earthbound individual (You're an Earth individual) Yeah

There was a time I thought we'd be forever friends Peas in a pod like ride-or-die until the end Where do you go when you want to be alone? Can I follow? Can I meet you there? I'm still drifting and I don't know where to go (Don't know where to go) I'm a star in your sky and a black hole in my own (Black hole in my own) We had a good time Now you've left it all behind Left there as pictures in my mind They came and they went Memories and events I'll see you again See you in the sky Came and it went We've paid and we're spent I'll feel it again Feel it another time This is our song but I'm the only one who hears it I remember the tune but I've forgotten all the lyrics Where there once was music, now there's silence in our hearts We were once so close together, now so far apart I'm still drifting and I don't know where to go (Don't know where to go) A star in your sky but a black hole in my own (Black hole in my own) We had a great time Now we've left it all behind Left there as something in my mind It came and it went Memories and events I'll see you again See you in the sky Came and it went We paid and we're spent I'll feel it again Feel it another time We'll forget how we depended on each other From the start we knew our song was just a cover And we had a good time Now we've left it all behind Left there as something in my mind They came and they went Memories and events I'll see you again See you in the sky Came and it went We've paid and we're spent I'll feel it again See you another time

Meet me on Rodeo All the creeps and the dweebs are bringing me down I love LA, but the most bogus stuff happens here I touch myself cause I'm hot and I'm ready to go I'm sick and tired of staying at home I'm out on the open road Cause these blades were made to roll Maxing out these credit cards Can't tell these shopping bags apart Not going home, yes I'm going hard Down on the boulevard (Ugh, Nobody walks in LA) Don't need no fur coat Cause it's a hundred and three And I'm out on the strip and I'm all that every eye can see (Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer) I'll roll right over your dreams (This is why I love LA) High off the key lime Palms on the fault line Moms sipping poolside What do you do when the hot tub calls for you? Stuck on the freeway Jammed up in LA FM DJ What do you do when the hot tub calls for you? (That is, like, one bitching Camaro) Out here in the limelight For everybody to see But no one sees the empty room behind the silver screen It's gonna roll right over your dreams (So what does your dad do?) Oh my god! Is that Jan-Michael Vincent!? Oh my god! Pop out the ice tray Shots on your birthday Taco Tuesday What do you do when the hot tub calls for you? (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Crop tops and flip-flops G-spots and f-stops Screenplays and headshots What do you do when the hot tub calls for you? Ugh, whatever Oh my god, you're such a loser

I wanna go out I wanna get freshly dressed and consecrated Vestment robes and platform boots Strapless dress and mohair suits It's hot I wanna get drunk on pure anticipation Tonight we're gonna rock this town Turn it upside down Let's play a game where we see how many thrills that I can eat Move that booty out the kitchen if you can't stand the heat A couple showstoppers 'Bout to ready-set-go We're gonna do it proper Cause we're gonna get so High High as we're ever gonna get I wanna live my life out loud with no regrets We're getting high High Higher than the clouds We're never giving up and never coming down I see the light Got that backbeat thump and polyrhythm Porcelain tile and neon light Top-shelf booze and crystal white Bumps in the night got me dancing, dancing in the moonlight My feet won't touch the floor I'm spinning faster I wanna fly out of control I wanna go someplace that no one dares to go Touch the skyline This is your time This is my time This is our time So we're out, getting... High High as we're ever gonna get I wanna live my life out loud with no regrets We're getting high High Higher than the clouds I'm never giving up and I'm never coming down We don't stop We don't sleep Tired eyes Tired feet We don't stop We don't sleep Tired eyes Tired feet We don't stop We don't sleep Tired eyes Tired feet We don't stop We don't sleep Tired eyes Tired feet I wanna go bigger I wanna do more, more, more I wanna shine so bright the sun don't shine no more We can't stop We won't sleep Tired eyes Tired feet No one quits tonight We're staying up and staying High High as we're ever gonna get (Ever gonna get) I wanna live my life out loud with no regrets We're getting high High Higher than the clouds I'm never giving up and I'm never coming down Staying high High as we're ever gonna get I wanna live my life out loud with no regrets We're getting high High Higher than the clouds We're never giving up and never coming down, baby

Something tells me I've got zero chance to make this up to you Still I try... The end of the night arrives much too soon Where do you go when no one's at home and no one is waiting? Anticipating? Drink through the hourglass, sad and depleted When we get careless the past is repeated on you Visions are blurred and the future's in doubt My speech is all slurred and I'm closing it out The sessions are long and I'm staying out late If I buy you a double, do I get a clean slate? Can I write a new story for you? Last Call and it's out into the night But we're moving towards the light One last chance to make it right I know our life is on the line I know I'm running out of time The barroom light is turning on I'm fading to the great beyond Nowhere is open and it's so close I've got one last hope and it's desperate at most I'll make one Last Call for you Last Call and it's out into the night But we're moving towards the light One last chance to make it right I'll make it up to you, girl I swear and I swear and I swear it again (Where do you go when you want to be alone?) Last Call and it's out into the night but we're moving towards the light One last chance to make it right Last Call and it's out into the night but we're moving towards the light One last chance to make it right Last Call and it's out into the night

Streets are cold and I don't know where I'm going It's raining hard and it shows no sign of slowing Got a hot ticket in my back pocket and it's glowing (Break down and shake down baby) About to see the greatest show that's showing All the freaks are out in gowns and leather jackets Gonna see who drowns and who can really hack it Who really wants it? Who's gonna take it all? Streets of Rage playing live at the L.E.S. amusement hall Non-stop Straight route Eyes up Vibes out Walk in Get down Ain't no time for reminiscing Pure gold Ball gown Stone-cold knockout I'm gonna see what I've been missing I wanna drink champagnebows I wanna wear the finest clothes I wanna go where the Chosen go Other side of the velvet rope On the Upper East Side Everyone knows the stemware glows Thinking 'bout tonight, but living here in the present (Break down and shake down, baby) The 4 to 5 express taking me right up to heaven (Shake down and break down, baby) Non-stop Straight route Eyes up Vibes out Walk in Get down Ain't no time for reminiscing Pure gold Ball gown Stone-cold knockout I'm gonna see what I've been missing I wanna drink champagnebows I wanna wear the finest clothes I wanna go where the Chosen go I wanna be with the Oldest Gold On the Upper East Side Everyone knows the stemware glows I'm just so sick and tired of all the creeps and the dweebs bringing me down (Me too, dude!) Cause I already got my ticket out of this no-pony town (No-pony town!) I'm getting right into that gold elevator and pushing the button that takes me straight to the top (Break down and shake down, baby) And when I walk out on that penthouse floor, every bottle is gonna pop! (Shake down and break down, baby) Champagnebows I wanna drink champagnebows I wanna wear the finest clothes I wanna go where the Chosen go Other side of the velvet rope On the Upper East Side Everyone knows the stemware glows I wanna drink champagnebows (Champagnebows) Ah, champagnebows Champagnebows Champagnebows

Look sharp, look sharp On your toes, on your toes Nobody is going home until we get this place in order We're gonna do it better this time If we work smarter, not harder... Stop blinking Start thinking Wash, wash, wash Go, go, go Let's clean the Life Star That's dirty That's clean Exactly; now it's clean Slippery surface, look out Stop Stop Water Wet water on the floor Clear up your wires You've got messy wires You've got messy wires Don't bleep at me I really wish you wouldn't I don't want any backtalk Dirty bugger Right I can deactivate you at any second You can't report this to HR; I am HR You may sweep You may fix But on the Life Star, I am the alpha and the omega I am the A to the Z I'm everywhere Get back to work That prism drive is not gonna fix itself It's bent Fix it Hey, get your hands out the fridge You're programmed, you know better And by the way, the food replicator is broken You obviously didn't prioritize your day We need to fix this food replicator Look at it It's dirty It's dirty These humans are disgusting They're disgusting Rice Krispies everywhere Sweep it up Snap to it Sweep, sweep, sweep Sweep up, sweep up, sweep up, sweep up, sweep up Pick it up That's dusty Polish, polish Snap, crackle and pop They eat this shit They like it They like it I don't know why I'm friends with organics Organics Soft If you were to ask me, I've been there To Mars I've been to Venus I've been in a black hole I've been in a white hole I've been in a K-hole These humans, they don't know anything! These are my friends: "We travel from planet to planet, spreading our love!" It goes on, and on, and on, and on for a ridiculous amount of time I'll move that to a different song On, and on, and on, and on Okay Not bad Tip-top You are my friends Oi!

Alone Out here in the unknown We're trippin' the light Searching for our way home And we're just drifting along And all the while, we're dreaming About a better life Another world ahead But we know It's someplace we may never find Lightspeed to nowhere Another one of those days Just trying to find my way, somewhere out here in the dark We were just readjusting from something to nothing But nothing gets in the way when you're out so very far Dreaming just for a moment Nothing is guaranteed We can find ourselves out there Somewhere out beyond the stars There's nothing left to see And we know you'll agree; we had to leave it all behind Cause the world that we need We knew it never would be exactly what we had in mind It's someplace we may never find Alone Out there in the unknown We're trippin' the light Searching for our way home And we're just drifting along And all the while we’re dreaming About a better life Another world ahead But we know It's someplace we may never find Have you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Have you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Have you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Have you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? Haven't you been trippin' on the light? And there's nothing left to see And we know you'll agree; we had to leave it all behind Cause the world that we need We knew it never would be exactly what we had in mind It's someplace we may never find Cause we're searchin', searchin', searchin' for our way home (Have you been trippin' on the light?) (Haven't you been trippin'?) 'Bout a better life Another world ahead But we know It's someplace we may never find

Wanna tell you everything I'm missing It's too late to turn around All that I was hoping would take your place; I have not found Searching for a home In a sea of stars I'm drifting Feeling so alone in an endless void where no one's listening We used to watch the sunrise The bright light would make the rivers seem to glow I know I said I'd never go Listless Wishing Seeming like a million years ago Wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home One, when we come and we run and we come undone One, when we come then we run and we come undone One, when we come and we run then we come undone One, when we come then we run We come undone One, when we come and we run and we come undone One, when we come then we run and we come undone One, when we come and we run and we come undone One, when we come then we run We come undone I wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home Looking for a place in endless space All our friends All aboard Glasses up and four to the floor When we come and we run and we come undone One, when we come then we run We keep on wishing (Wishing) Waiting (Waiting) Wasting away a million years or more Wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home Wish we had never gone We had never gone and we'd stayed home Stayed home I wish we had never gone And we'd stayed home I miss my home Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry My friends and I, we turn our gaze back towards the stars Towards the innumerable planets and the infinite possibilities And though we may journey far and leave you behind Know that, if you ever feel alone, you will always have a place here with us aboard the Life Star One, when we come and we run and we come undone One, when we come then we run and we come undone One, when we come and we run then we come undone One, when we come then we run We come undone I wish we had never gone I wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home I wish we'd stayed home We had never gone (Wishing, waiting) I wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home (Wishing, waiting) I wish we'd stayed home (Wishing, waiting) I wish we had never gone (Listless, wishing) I wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home (Seeming like a million years or more) (Wish we had never gone and we'd stayed home) I wish we'd stayed home

So we'll sing our final song (We'll sing our song) Running towards a new tomorrow (Where we belong) How can we know to leave this lonely world alone? We're going to a place where you can't follow A place that we can call our own We're taking off and moving on So take care of yourselves Please take care of yourself You know it's true We've done all the things we wanted to do So take care of yourselves Please take care of yourselves When we're gone Came to earth and we lit it up (Lit it up) We broke down in a Midwest town We drank champagnebows beyond the velvet rope Where do we go when we want to be alone? Going to a place where you can't follow A place that we can call our home We're taking off and moving on So take care of yourselves Please take care of yourselves You know it's true We've done all the things we wanted to do So take care of yourselves Please take care of yourselves When we're gone You may think you're losing all your friends Doesn't mean that it's the end No, it's only the beginning If you just keep holding on Then you won't be alone for long Oh, the world keeps on spinning We've made some friends And lost some lovers But now it's time to mend It's time to recover As we sail away And convey our goodbyes We'll bid you a good day Going gentle into that good starry sky Just keep moving on Just keep moving on Just keep moving on Moving on You gotta say goodbye Moving on Just keep moving on We're going home And the world keeps on spinning Just moving on Get away Gotta go Get away Get away from here Gotta move right on Move right on Just keep moving on Goodbye Goodbye Bye-bye I'm leaving right now I'm leaving right now Got to got to got to got to got to got to I miss my friends Got to got to got to got to got to got to move right on You got to got to got to got to get away Move right on You got to move right on Just keep moving on Goodbye Goodbye Just keep moving on Goodbye for now The world keeps spinning Just keep moving on I'll always remember you It's what we're gonna do It's what we always do As it happened before, it has happened again And we turn away from this world into the vast possibilities beyond Another chance at love, life, and a place to call our own We'll cherish the memories and the time we have shared And I know we'll meet again someday Somewhere out amongst the stars It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
