The greatest-ever direct hit
Unwaveringly accurate
As one lacking natural aim
I remain glued to the frame
Double asteroid redirection test
Like throwing a dart across the globe
The dartboard at the antipode
Or a baseball at a ship
Hard enough to make it tip
Double asteroid redirection test
Like smashing a vending machine into a sports arena
Like heaving Portland, Maine right into Argentina
Hear the cheer from the control room
Beating back the forces of doom
Planetary self-defense
It is here and it’s immense
Like Atari Asteroids
But with real asteroids
Double asteroid redirection test
Redirection test
Redirection test

William Shatner in Space

William Shatner returning from space
It didn’t go the way he expected at all
Out there is just an empty waste
Nothing but death, the temperature four hundred below
With the earth an insignificant dot
No borders, just a whitish-blue spot
It’s crushing and unbearably sad
William Shatner disembarking from the capsule
To cheers and shouts and champagne
It felt just like a funeral
Every splash of champagne like the kiss of a salt vampire
Mission backfired
So much for connecting the dots
Or slicing the knot
Boldly go
Boldly go
Boldly go
Boldly go

Exceptional record. Frank's lyrics are witty and poignant (Making Fun Of Bitcoin especially), with Mark, John, and Paul bringing them to life with gravity and vigor. Well sequenced and well executed, these songs will worm their way into your ear and make themselves at home.
