TNP This album is stuck in my head. "Cocoon" has a heavy riff that keeps repeating in my mind. It's been a long time since I've heard music that gets deep in my soul. SPACE DRIFTER has earned a permanent spot in my music collection. Favorite track: Cocoon.

swantonio Yeah I'm not sure I could pick a favorite track... this kicks ass. This recording is a gem in a sea of crap digi-wash compressed forgettable bland expanse of nothing memorable internet space drifting. Favorite track: Grand Vizier Blues.
Jason Anderson

Jason Anderson Hard to pick a favorite track...just a great album, through and through. Almost passed this up when it first released, but I'm glad I went back for a second listen...it makes my socks roll up and down. Favorite track: Funeral Pyre.

Cocoon 05:17
I've got smoke On my water I'm pretty sure That's a personality disorder Psychonaut Space tripping Never going home Sipping on the rum on which I'm sipping Yeah Alright And I'll bring the gasoline Just tell me how to burn Forever I thought I saw a crack in the cocoon The light slipped in for a split second But I'm still here Still waiting For the one who never came I need a vacation from this prison of a brain Release me Set me free Cut me open Let me flow right into you I've got smoke On my water I'm pretty sure That's a personality disorder Broken down With no ambition I wanna go But something's in the way of my fruition Yeah Fee-fi-fo-fum

Pow 04:05
If you wanna let me, I can lick your ichor; send you back to mama in a bodybag All's you gotta give me is a little snicker, and you will go down by the shot of my gun You think I'm your pal, well... I don't think pals throw their buddies in the canal My rationale is I think you'd look good dying If you'd like some fun, then I can send you flying; stuff your little tummy with a hand grenade And if you think I jest, or if you think I'm lying; then you will go down by the shot of my gun It says pow My God buddy, you should've been on the run Another pow Bang, bang, why didn't you run buddy Why didn't you run buddy, oh And when I do emerge from this heap of rubble It's time to say your prayers, you're in a bit of trouble Towering above you is the old capitano And you will go down by the son of a gun It says pow My God buddy you should've been on the run Another pow Bang, bang, why didn't you run buddy Why didn't you run buddy boy You thought you got me good this time You're dead and I'm still breathing You're dead and I'm still breathing You're dead and I'm still breathing

And when the struggle comes to a close Ignite the sun, the city shall be purged in flame Purged in fire Send the message through the sea of sand Let the people know that I have arrived to command Tome in hand And at the journey's end you'll find no peace Never be at ease, you've ire that will never cease Masterpiece And as their flesh ignites you've found your muse All these pleasant hues, the city boy will pay his dues Light the fuse

Black fissure Consume them all I know, I know now It's all for nothing Black fissure Consume them all I know, I know now It's all for nothing Yeah I think I've seen you before You looked a lot better in my dream, but I know it's you And I know, I know, I've got you for the night Oh But the black fissure Consumes us all I know, I know now It's all for nothing Yeah the Black fissure Consumes us all And I know, I know now it's all for nothing Yeah I've seen it all before The way she stares into my eyes she must think they're real And I know, I know it's not gonna end well Black fissure Consume them all I know I know now It's all for nothing May the Black fissure Consume us all I know I know now it's all for nothing all for nothing all for nothing

Captain Hill 04:28
Captain Hill Makes his entrance Entrancing the peasants With his mere presence And he goes get down on your knees, if you please You know there is no cause for concern Everybody's gotta burn in the end Yeah that seems to be the trend So, get down on your knees, if you please Now dance Sweet romance K-k-k-kiss me honey The captain works his simple spell By unlocking the powers of every hell He stares you down and thinks you a snake Snake charmer, there is no mistake Every woman of every house The captain quickly makes his loyal spouse If he asks then he shall receive Almighty, he will make you believe He says get down on your knees And you get down on your knees God knows you gotta get down on your knees for captain Hill. My hands are bloody There's mud on my shoe I'm gonna get ya Before the night is through And I say Yeah you know what I say Even the demon, even the devil gets down on his knees for captain Hill, oh I stalk my prey in the night My mind is set on murder They call me a A lumbering madman of sick desire I daresay it's gonna go further So in lieu of your sultry lips I go down, down, down, down, and I find lifeless hips I just came to dance Sweet romance K-k-k-kiss K-k-kah Captain Hill Makes his entrance Entrancing the peasants With his mere presence, oh You know there is no cause for concern Everybody's gotta burn in the end Yeah, that seems to be the trend So, get down on your knees And you get down on your knees God knows you gotta get down on your knees

Voodoo Queen 06:17
You might think that it's impossible I've grown feelers that you'll never know Voodoo queen your figurine it cannot deceive me Find me in the flagon Mindless peons of human race Put me in my place on this rock in space Won't you teach me how to die? We all know the end is nigh So just teach me how to die gracefully Mindless peon of human race You debase me with your false embrace Voodoo queen your figurine, it cannot deceive me Find me in the flagon Bleeding in the gutter

Here we go again Swimming through the endless vacuum in the night Don't know how I'm swimming, but I am My spirit companion is a strange lizard, named Pamela Anderson Prime I can only assume this is not his birth name He intends to guide me, to show me the way But I don't listen do I I just don't fucking listen And that'll be my downfall, I know But not quite yet I said Here we go again Swimming through the endless vacuum in the night Don't know how I'm swimming, but I am Looking for companionship, looking for love No sign of life I used to hate people who say hello too often Too many times in one sentence, "hello, hello, hello, hello, sir, how do you do?" Now I long for a greeting of any kind Some variation to the brainless gaze of my fellow space drifters No offense Back on my home planetoid I used to dance around naked Heavily concentrating on staying inside the weak and feeble gravitational field I would speak there, to my imaginary audience And bow politely as my performance came to an end Though, sometimes I wonder if it ever did So, here we go again Swimming through the endless vacuum in the night Just another mangy stray dog with an attitude problem Pet me and ye shall receive the sickness This is the end of line Both literally and figuratively the old man cuts into my soul Carves it into pieces as I cry and cry and smell a smell I've never smelled before This is what they warned me of It's the point of no return

Funeral Pyre 05:12
Funeral pyre warming my skin Seems I've lost my medicine Mounting fire overwhelming God I miss the loony bin She's dead And I'm breathing my last breath Now she's dead And I've been dying since the day I laid eyes on her Gripped her by the fingertips I never let go, I think they fell off on their own Gripped her by the fingertips I never let go Funeral pyre cleanse me of sin God I miss my human skin Dancing fires make my head spin Melt the face off of my grin If I could fade 'till I'm I could fade to distant memory Then I'd die, then I'd die a happy boy I'm gonna drown and I'm gonna choke on myself, open me up Maybe now, maybe now you'll find your joy And I crawl And I crawl And I crawl as I hit the floor And I crawl And I've been crawling since the day I lost sight of her Gripped her by the fingertips I never let go, I think they fell off on their own Gripped her by the fingertips I never let go Funeral pyre cleaning my skin Oh the fool that I have been My desire has worn me thin Losing her my mortal sin If I could fade 'till I'm I could fade to distant memory Then I'd die, then I'd die a happy boy I'm gonna drown and I'm gonna choke on myself, open me up Maybe now, maybe now you'll find your joy

Hooks 07:10
I can see it in your eyes When you look at me honey I've been a pirate far too long Now you look at me funny Got hooks in place of both hands, sure ain't no joke my dear Try to run away now Try to run away I can taste it on your tongue When I'm kissing ya honey I've been a pirate far too long Now you taste fucking funny Got hooks in place of both hands, sure ain't no joke my dear Try to run away now Try to run away Darkness beckons the beat of my drum Synchronized with the pain Opium and a flagon of rum Laudanum I can feel it in the air When I'm breathing it, honey Turning your love into fear, my dear Transform your milky skin I'm turning it black and blue Try to run away now Try to run away Darkness beckons the beat of my drum Synchronized with the pain Opium and a flagon of rum Slowly driving me sane Darkness beckons the beat of my drum Synchronized with the pain Opium and a flagon of rum Slowly driving me Slowly driving me Slowly driving me Sane

The grand vizier has arrived To pay his respects Festering slime running down his chin Into a puddle of rotting skin Twisting, turning, bowels churning He sings the song of his people Are you happy With what you've done Are you happy With what you've done Don't lie to me sugarcakes Where is it Please tell me, hon Where have you hidden my gun As I was running from the police I spotted some enemies Chop your head off Chop your head off Chop your head off, see ya later Are you happy with what you've done Staring into the sun Staring into the sun That's punishment for stealing my gun Who do you think you are Telling me what I can and cannot, when I'm the fucking grand vizier How did you think you'd get away I'm relentless, that's the consensus Running around like there's a fire in my head The grand vizier has arrived to pay his respects Twisting, turning, bowels churning, he sings the song of his people He sings the song of his people, oh, thank you, grand vizier
