Lyrics by Eric Bosse, music by Neal Koga and Eric Bosse

lyrics

Hey, everybody! Everyone, listen up!
One more shot. Last round’s on me.
Yeah, that’s right, buddy, I know they’re free;
still, I said this one’s on me.

So let’s pretend the end will never ever get here,
though we know, deep down, it’s ominously near.

Or maybe it’s time we called it a day.
Maybe these dreams weren’t meant to come true.
Maybe we’ve wasted this night, and maybe that’s all right.
Maybe we’ve done what we came here to do.

Don’t know about you people - hell, I don’t even know you -
But let’s knock back one last shot together, one last jab for the road.

So here’s to the stars, and here's to your health,
and here's to the upward redistribution of wealth.
Here’s to a good long slumber, here’s to death and rebirth,
Far from the rumbling, grumbling, crumbling earth.

Oh, my Mother Earth, lost love's got nothing on her.
May she see the back of us before we see the end of her.
And if she’d rather, then we’d probably better not darken her door again,
nor wash up on her shores again.

I’m not sorry if I tremble as I buckle in.
Ignore me if I shed a tear as the countdown begins.
Don’t mind me if I turn from the viewport.
Never mind me as I count a few sheep with my sins...

No, I won’t say goodnight. No, I won’t say goodbye.
As launch sequence commences, I beg only Her pardon, forgiveness, absolution.

Oh, my Mother Earth, lost love's got nothing on her.
May she see the back of us before we see the end of her.
And if she’d rather, then we’d probably better not darken her door again,
nor wash up on her shores again.
Bring on the oblivion of a thousand light years.
Let there be no tears in stasis,
No dreams in the chamber,
No regrets, my friends, as we all disappear.
