Ion Engines Creep

Intro

Oh oh

Far from home

Far from home

Verse 1

Magnetic seals engaged

Checking every circuit line

Red light

Green light

Monitor the oxygen pressure tank

Oxygen tank

Breathe it in

Breathe it slow

Pre-Chorus

Spinning through the velvet nothing

Watching the reactor glow

The systems hum a gentle tune

Far away from everything we know

Chorus

Float away to sleep

While the ion engines creep

The nebula is bright

But it's dark enough for dreams tonight

Float away to sleep

Keep the silence deep

Watch the dials move

Caught inside the groove

Verse 2

Strap your shoulders in the bunk

Lock the lever

Lock the latch

Tighten the mesh

Scanning for a radio frequency

Silence is our company

Scanning

Wait for the tone

Wait for the home

That we haven't seen for years

Pre-Chorus

Spinning through the velvet nothing

Watching the reactor glow

The systems hum a gentle tune

Far away from everything we know

Chorus

Float away to sleep

While the ion engines creep

The nebula is bright

But it's dark enough for dreams tonight

Float away to sleep

Keep the silence deep

Watch the dials move

Caught inside the groove

Bridge

Check the deck

Clear the rack

Seal the crack

Tricorder reading steady now

Calibration complete

The gravity is soft

Safe inside this metal hull

Wrapped in wire and heat

Chorus

Float away to sleep

While the ion engines creep

The nebula is bright

But it's dark enough for dreams tonight

Float away to sleep

Keep the silence deep

Watch the dials move

Caught inside the groove

Post-Chorus

Dreaming far away

Dreaming far away

Lulla-lulla-bye

Lulla-lulla-bye

Sleep

Deep sleep

Chorus

Float away to sleep

While the ion engines creep

The nebula is bright

But it's dark enough for dreams tonight

Float away to sleep

Keep the silence deep

Watch the dials move

Caught inside the groove
