The Comic Never Done

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Waste drums boiling on the dark side

Magnetic surge the Geiger screams

Atomic accident sky is tearing

September moon breaks from her dreams

Chain reaction Earth in the rearview

Blasted out hurled to the unknown

International outpost now a starship

Riding a dead world into the void

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway

Breakaway

Eagles lost

No way home

Chorus

MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in 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

Commander Koenig pragmatic steel commander

Helena Russell beating heart in the black

Bergman the wise white-haired prophet

Science standing firm against collapse

Carter on the Eagle screaming down a gravity well

Morrow at Main Mission Benes at the screens

Kano and the Computer whispering dream

Then Year Two burns in Psychon flare

Pre-Chorus

Maya the shifter

Verdeschi locks and loads

We left the cradle

We broke the codes

Chorus

MOONBASE ALPHA adrift in 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 3

Charlton Comics seventy-five magazine size war

Gray Morrow draws Endgame first shot fired

Byrne before the X-Men Boyette Pino

Neal Adams' ghost studio inking stars

Look-In weekly Burns and Noble in color bleed

Annuals on the newsstand black suns and lonely emperors

Black Sun Taybor Dragon's Domain four panels

Remastered now in anthologies legends resurrected

Bridge

She was Psychon child of Mentor molecule dancer

Every monster every face she can borrow

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

We are still

We are still

We are still here
