Breakaway

Verse 1

Waste drums boiling on the dark side

Magnetic surge and the Geiger screams

Atomic accident and the sky is tearing

September moon breaks from her dreams

Chain reaction Earth in the rearview

Blasted out and hurled to the unknown

International outpost now a starship

Riding a dead world into the void

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway

Breakaway

Eagles lost and no way home

Chorus

Moonbase Alpha drifting endless night

Moonbase Alpha three-eleven into light

We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun

Alpha Alpha the voyage has begun

Verse 2

Koenig with the iron nerve and pragmatic steel

Helena beating heart in the black

Bergman white-haired prophet counting down collapse

Carter screaming down a gravity well

Morrow at the screens and Benes at the mains

Kano whispering dreams through the wire

Then Year Two burns in with the Psychon glare

Maya shifts her molecule and Verdeschi locks the fire

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway

Breakaway

Eagles lost and no way home

Chorus

Moonbase Alpha drifting endless night

Moonbase Alpha three-eleven into light

We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun

Alpha Alpha the voyage has begun

Bridge

She was Psychon child of Mentor

Molecule dancer wearing every borrowed face

Growl:

ANOMALY DETECTED

SHAPE SHIFT

UNSTABLE

Alpha will you accept the alien

Breakdown

On September thirteenth the moon left us

On September thirteenth we left the Earth

Chorus

Moonbase Alpha drawn in Charlton blood and light

Moonbase Alpha Look-In strips that burned so bright

We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun

Three-eleven forever the comic never done

Outro

This is Moonbase Alpha

If you receive

We are still

We are still
