Breakaway

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 drifting in the endless night

MOONBASE ALPHA three hundred eleven into light

We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun

Alpha alpha the voyage has begun

Post-Chorus

Alpha alpha

Alpha alpha

Verse 2

Commander Koenig Landau's fire pragmatic steel

Helena Russell beating heart in the black

Bergman the wise white-haired prophet against collapse

Carter on the Eagle screaming down the gravity well

Morrow at Main Mission Benes at the screens

Kano and the Computer whispering dreams

Then Year Two burns in the Psychon flare

Maya metamorph molecule shifter Verdeschi locks and loads

Pre-Chorus

We have Breakaway Breakaway

Eagles lost no way home

Chorus

MOONBASE ALPHA drifting in the endless night

MOONBASE ALPHA three hundred eleven into light

We are the ink and thunder lost beyond the sun

Alpha alpha the voyage has begun

Post-Chorus

Alpha alpha

Alpha alpha

Bridge

She was Psychon child of Mentor

Molecule dancer 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
