Lyrics
[Intro]
Houston
Do you read
Houston
Look at me
[Chorus]
Orbiting with the pepper
Red giant in my palm
Firing the heat
Firing the fuel
I am the comet now
Watch the orbit melt
Melting down
[Verse 1]
Capsule smells like a scorched earth pantry
Oxygen low
Tingles in the fingertips
Tricolon of terror
Heart rate rising
Vision blurring
Brain shaking
Floating in the spice cloud
[Verse 2]
I swallowed the sun in a tin foil wrap
Control says stop
I say go
The ghost of the chili is grabbing my throat
Crying in zero gravity
Salty globes on my visor
Looking for milk
Milk in the void
[Pre-Chorus]
Mayday
Payday
Final fray
Launch it
[Chorus]
Orbiting with the pepper
Red giant in my palm
Firing the heat
Firing the fuel
I am the comet now
Watch the orbit melt
Melting down
[Verse 3]
Houston we have a plumbing disaster
Magnetic pull
Deep inside the gut
The Vindaloo is fighting the metal
Internal pressure rising
Hydraulics failing
Gases venting
Sounding like a wooden cello bow snapping
[Verse 4]
Static on the radio won't hide the truth
Ground control screams
Switch off the mic
Too late for the biohazard protocols
Ejected the lid
Paint peeling off the bulkheads
Sweat pooling
Swimming in a pool of fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Mayday
Payday
Final fray
Launch it
[Chorus]
Orbiting with the pepper
Red giant in my palm
Firing the heat
Firing the fuel
I am the comet now
Watch the orbit melt
Melting down
[Verse 5]
Boastful pilot of the Scoville mission
Crown of seeds
Throne of glass
My skin is turning violet in the glare
Radiation burns
Stomach churns
Bridge burns
Calling all the backup crew for help
[Verse 6]
Musk never warned about the curry vapor
Liquid fire
Leaking from the suit
Don't breathe the recycled atmosphere
Smoldering air
Singed hair
Nowhere
Drifting toward the Martian border
[Pre-Chorus]
Mayday
Payday
Final fray
Launch it
[Chorus]
Orbiting with the pepper
Red giant in my palm
Firing the heat
Firing the fuel
I am the comet now
Watch the orbit melt
Melting down
[Verse 7]
Seven verses for the spice god
Capsule is hissing
Houston is quitting
Final words from a burnt out hero
Swallowed it whole
Lost control
Saving my soul
Gone into the sun like a ember
[Hook]
Hotter than the rocket
Hotter than the thrusters
Pepper X
Space X
The heat
The heat
The heat
