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

[Chorus: Stu Mackenzie]
Spacesick on my spaceship
Spacesick on my spaceship
