Breakaway 311

Intro

Waste drums boiling on the dark side

Magnetic surge the Geiger screams

Verse 1

Atomic accident sky is tearing

September moon breaks from her dreams

Chain reaction Earth in the rearview

Hurled to the great unknown

International outpost now a starship

Riding a dead world riding alone

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway

Eagles lost

No way home

Chorus

MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in endless night

MOONBASE ALPHA 311 into light

We are the ink and thunder

Lost beyond the sun

ALPHA the voyage has begun

Post-Chorus

Breakaway

Breakaway

Verse 2

Commander Koenig steel and pragmatic fire

Helena Russell beating in the black

Bergman the prophet white-haired science

Carter screaming down a gravity well

Morrow at Main Mission Benes at the screens

Kano and the Computer whisper low

Year Two burns in Psychon's flare arrives

Maya the morph Verdeschi locks and loads

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway

Shapes shift

Nowhere home

Chorus

MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in endless night

MOONBASE ALPHA 311 into light

We are the ink and thunder

Lost beyond the sun

ALPHA the voyage has begun

Post-Chorus

Breakaway

Breakaway

Verse 3

Charlton '75 magazine size war

Gray Morrow starts the first shot fired

Byrne before the X-Men Boyette Pino

Neal Adams ghost studio inking stars

Look-In weekly Burns and Noble bleed

Annuals on the newsstand black suns glow

Taybor and Dragon's Domain in panels

Remastered legends for the faithful to know

Bridge

She was Psychon child of Mentor

Molecule dancer every face she borrows

Anomaly detected

Shape shift unstable

ALPHA will you accept the alien

Breakdown

ON SEPTEMBER 13TH THE MOON LEFT US

ON SEPTEMBER 13TH WE LEFT THE EARTH

Drawn in Charlton blood and light

Look-In strips that burned so bright

Chorus

MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in endless night

MOONBASE ALPHA 311 into light

We are the ink and thunder

Lost beyond the sun

ALPHA the voyage has begun

Outro

This is Moonbase Alpha

If you receive

We are still alive
