lyrics

ROCKET MAN
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine A.M.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Anak Ko
by Jay Som

It keeps you guessing in the best way. From the windows down pop of Superbike to the smoothed out 80's soul of Devotion, Anak Ko keeps me coming back, always discovering something new. Silvergirl

Lifted, Into The Depths
by Joshua Wentz

A mix of thought provoking interrogations on the end of everything creating something new, interwoven between angular instrumentals, LITD provides the listener a soundtrack for our teetering times. Silvergirl
