lyrics

The Dalsey Courier

We were tired
Of the Atlantic
But we get complacent ere we fall

Billowing
Smoke outside the bulkhead
Drew some straws to decide who’d climb the hull

Chorus:
The journey through
Shows there’s nothing left that we can do
Except surrender and prepare for the end

I shove my bloody hand
Into the torn up fuselage again
Indecently probing and groping to keep it alive


Climbing out
Through the cheesecake illustration
Turbulence nearly pulling me into the dawn

Vanity
Drove us to the shortcut
We wandered off the TRAIL and now we’re gone

Chorus

Further and further down we fall
All the way down to the dimming core
Further and further away we call
All the way out to a distant shore

We knew that help was a light hour away
Jupiter will make us hers today

Silent
Passage through the interface
Pressure mounting each meter that we descend

We’ll just be
A fading bruise on the atmosphere
A distant stream of light and fade away
