Moonbase Alpha Adrift

Intro

Mm-mm-mm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Waste drums boiling on the dark side

Magnetic surge the Geiger screams

Atomic accident the 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 of science

Carter on the Eagle screaming down a gravity well

Morrow at Main Mission Benes at the screens

Kano and the Computer whispering dreams

Then Year Two burns in Psychon flare

Maya metamorph molecule shifter locks and loads

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 3

Charlton Comics seventy-five magazine size black and white war

Gray Morrow draws the 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

Black Sun Taybor Dragon's Domain in four panels

Annuals on the newsstand lonely emperors

Remastered now in anthologies legends resurrected for the faithful

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

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 here
