Album: The Vice Quadrant: A Space Opera, Pt. 1 (2015)

Starburner

[Rabbit:] Even on a cloudy night
I know that my star burns bright
It's high above my weary woes
It burns, it burns

I'll get by
If my star burns bright
Shine for me and take me home
Gazing at the sky above
Waiting for the band to call
I know I've found a star
That'll save my soul

And even on a cloudy night
I know that my star burns bright
It's high above my weary woes
It burns, yeah it burns

[Spine:] Starburner, you need to cut it out
You're burning up the galaxy
Starburner, red dwarves won't save your soul
What you need is binary
[Rabbit:] Then will you save my soul
[Spine:] Oh no
[Rabbit:] Will you save my soul
[Spine:] Oh no

[Rabbit:] Can I get by?
Will I lose my mind?
Won't somebody save my soul?

[Hatchworth:] Whaddaya talkin' bout?
[Rabbit:] Will you save my soul
[Hatchworth:] Sorry, Rabbit
[Rabbit:] Will you save my soul
[Hatchworth:] Nope!

[Rabbit:] If I can't get by
I will lose control
I need someone to take me home
[Hatchworth:] I've been burning in the stratosphere
Trying to swipe at stars
Lemme tell you it don't work
They can't save your soul

[Spine:] Hatchworth, it is pointless
To try and snatch stars from space
Don't you know that they are billions
Of light years away

[Rabbit:] They call me Starburner, but they don't know me none
They say I'm burning up the galaxy
Starburner? Ha, what a travesty
I'm just seeking out an amnesty

[Spine & Hatchworth:] No one can save your soul
[Rabbit:] Oh no
[Spine & Hatchworth:] No one can save your soul
[Rabbit:] Oh no!

If I am damned
What will become of me?

And furthermore what about your souls?

[Spine:] Huh... Good point, Rabbit. What about our souls, Hatchworth?

[Hatchworth:] Do we even have souls?
[Spine:] Well, that's what the song suggests…

[Hatchworth:] Oh boy...
[Spine & Hatchworth:] Who will save our souls?
[Rabbit:] Not me!
[Spine & Hatchworth:] Who will save our souls?
[Rabbit:] I don't care!

[Spine & Hatchworth:] Will we get by?
[Rabbit:] No!
[Spine & Hatchworth:] Will we live or die?

[Spine:] Starburner, please save my soul.

[Hatchworth & Rabbit:] Yes, oh yes, we'll save your soul.
