Can you hear me Houston control? There's some kind of skism in the rigamarole There's some kind of fuzzle in our rock'n'roll Hey out there, hey Houston control we're still spinning like a top We're headed straight for the center of SOL The etch-a-sketch is up in the red and so is the kaleidomascope Can you hear me? Can you hear me Houston control? There's some kind of skism in the rigamarole There's some kind of fuzzle in our rock'n'roll Yeah, we jiggled the thingy, will we ever get home?

Yucca Flat 03:50
Yucca Flat Set me up in yucca flat A brand new suit and a Sunday hat There's my wife, she's looking fine Just set her right down here next to me for a while She sparkles like a desert jewel when she smiles Sometimes some things are just too good to be true Things like you Then comes the flash over yucca flat A storm of fury & fire & broken glass Where's my wife ? Everything is gone Was it wrong to trust the man with the blindfold on ? Tell me, was this desert ever beautiful once ? Sometimes some things are just too good to be true Things like you Was it wrong to trust the man with the blindfold on ? Tell me, was this desert ever beautiful once ? Sometimes some things are just too good to be true Things like you & me

Lovelands 04:14
Lovelands I should have known I was bound to die alone The high wire dive in the final show Love lands hard on the rocks below I used to fly, I used to spread my wings, I used to get so high I used to pray for someone to catch me when I'd land Then I fell into your hands. Oh, I could feel time stand still Love lands hard when the heart's on fire Love lands hard when the heart breaks free You once said to me you'd been waiting impatiently for a sign from the sky, like a falling star So I fell into your arms but you let me fall to the rocks below

Burn the evidence Anybody out there know a guy who maybe knows a little something 'bout a life of crime? Every gun for hire has a price Everything's for sale if the money's right We need leg breakers, thumb cutters, gangsters and goons Poison and needles and one pipe bomb in the room Calling all snipers, where's Bon Scott? We need a contract killer We got the plan if you got the muscle We got the cash if you don't mind a little trouble And I can tell ya right now, pal, There's gonna be trouble We need a Kung Fu judo chop who's good with the knives who can guarantee us nobody gets out alive We need a desperado, this is Alice speakin' We need a contract killer What to do with the body of the President? Roll it up in a rug and burn the evidence What to do with the corpse of the King? Take it down to the farm and feed it to the pigs What to do with his holy remains? Lay 'em out on the tracks and wait for the freight train

Stupid Old Man He's a stupid old man with tired old hands folded neatly in his lap of luxury Just an angry old man with so many plans All alone and living in a fantasy I don't think he is well Do you smell what I smell? Do you see what I see or is it just me? The golden gods of love might not save this man He's a stupid old man. He doesn't understand that the world is not like he might want it to be Just an angry old man with his head in the sand Waiting for the tide to take us out to sea Far out to sea I don't think he can see beyond his own misery Do you see what I see or is it just me? The golden gods of love might not save this man But the itchy lords of hell most surely can He's a stupid old man, a dying old man The tide is taking him far out to sea Far out to see

Apollo 04:53
Apollo There's a man on the moon hopping around like a kangaroo I doubt he'll be coming home anytime soon He's never been so free bopping around the Galaxy Goddam, I wish that it was me Apollo won't you take me down Deep down into your secret underground Way underground to live in a world where things get lost and never found Apollo help me hide away where I can find some peace from this insanity I need serenity, not gravity in a world where things get lost and never found When's the mission to Mars? I'll steal a ride in the baggage car I'll be out of my brain on the 5:15

A tree full of bees I can hear 'em in the middle of the stillness of the night In the dead full-stop of winter when the air itself is ice You might not hear it Just move in near it Put your ear up to it Can you finally hear it screaming "I'm alive" Can you hear 'em? Hear the buzzing? It's a tree that's full of bees It is soothing like a blanket, it is soft like baby's feet It makes us smile It keeps us young Just like good drugs It's something not to be afraid of It's alive

Semi Precious I'm so sorry for this stench, but I am drunk in my defense and I been falling down and getting up so long that I feel I must be immune to my own pain I don't know what town we're playing but something tells me something special's going on I hang from burning rope but I know that you will catch me when I fall cuz I'm precious, semi precious, all right - I'm not that precious at all I don't like to sleep alone and I am drunk and far from home and someone told me that you'd love to turn me on I hang from burning rope but I know that you will catch me when I fall cuz I'm precious, semi precious, all right - I'm not that precious at all It's been a strange goddam joy ride That's exactly what it's been It's been one on the chin after one on the chin after one on the chin I hang from burning rope but I know that you will catch me when I fall Still hanging on to hope that you'll be there to catch me when I fall cuz I'm precious, semi precious, all right - I'm not that precious at all Not at all

Earthbound 03:48
Earthbound This fascination has taken its toll We all need something more from this world but heaven knows what heaven holds We'll stick to the mission With goodness and precision We'll pull the pin and light this candle lest we blow it all up sky high like Bikini Atoll Looks like it's all hands on deck now This simulation's keeping us up at night We're not gods but we see you Shine your light now, we need you It's like it's all ass-on-backwards I'd go if you'd stay earthbound We're not gods but we see you Shine your light now, we need you It's time to relinquish our control You're such a sweet thing, a little charmer we all know This act is now reality, you're gonna make it into history In like a lamb and out like a lion Free yourself, free your soul, free your mind, lock & load Looks like it's all hands on deck now This situation's keeping us up at night We're not gods but we see you Shine your light now, we need you It's like it's all ass-on-backwards I swear that I would go if you'd stay earthbound We're not gods but we see you Shine your light now, we need you I don't see me coming back again but I don't think it's ever gonna end

The Unthinkable In India they play with fire In India they cast their dead to the water In India they can see forever Once in the fire they can see even farther Open your eyes Realize the unthinkable Look straight into the unbelievable Visualize the invisible And you shall be released In Indiana they sing in the choir In Indiana they want to live forever In Indiana they pray for the thunder For when the rain comes all their sins will be washed away Realize the unthinkable Look straight into the unbelievable Visualize the invisible and you shall be at peace Yeah, you’ll love the unredeemable Forgive the unforgivable C’mon, reach out and touch the realness Kiss the smiling face of the universe
