Spacesick

[Chorus: Stu Mackenzie]

Spacesick on my spaceship

Spacesick on my spaceship

[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]

June 22

What I wouldn't do for a meal with you

Real fork, real knife, in a shit diner

The sound of metal on china

Remember when we rode the 'coaster?

Remember when we sailed the strait?

You think they could've worked out the drugs up here, 'cause it's like that, but floating in space

[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie]

Earth-rise doesn't hit quite the same when you been spun merry-go-round all day

God, I miss that grounding feeling

Grass on bare toes, gravity, healing

Anyway, enough about me

How did the little ones sleep?

Did you make it to the zoo?

Fuck, I miss 'em, and you

[Verse 3: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

I've been dreaming in a virtual lab

When I stood up in class and said I wanted to be an astronaut, they laughed

T-Minus ten minutes and counting down

Four, three, two, one

We have lift-off

We're heading out

That's when it turned south

[Verse 4: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

The nausea's familiar, but I can't put my finger on it

Never quite felt like this before, but it's nothing out of the norm

Vestibular euphoria

I'm floating like a seesaw feather

The constellations settle the spacesickness

Putting me back together

[Bridge: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

Moaning and groaning

Rolling side to side

The parasites are building a city on my intestines

[Verse 5: Joey Walker]

I see you

Swaddled by the solidity of terrestrial fabric

Entangled in its loam

I see you

I pull you taught and you dissolve between white-knuckled fists

Like a hand full of sand reclaimed by gravity

Ooh-ooh

(Ooh)

[Verse 6: Stu Mackenzie]

June 22 continued

I lost ya there, must've been a solar flare

Where was I

Yeah, zoo

Thinking 'bout them and thinking 'bout you

Since your brother told me they cried a lot when they saw a guy who looked like their pop

Oh yeah, and that meal

To fuss about who pays the bill

To sit on chairs that touch the floor

For that, I'd give it all

'Til then, dream is all I can do

I love you

Over

Stu
