Engine Hours
(shhhhh) Coffee cold in a plastic seal
Card game dealt on a heavy steel wheel
Torch in her teeth,
keeping the wires clean
Just another hour in the great machine
On Deck Nine, the night runs slow
Underneath the mother ship's steady glow (hahaha)
Laughing loud but the vacuum hides the sound
Spinning while the world is going round
Two pair showing on a cargo crate
Watch the stars drift,
we stay up late
Soldering sparks on the bulkhead seam
Living our lives inside the metal beam
On Deck Nine, the night runs slow
Underneath the mother ship's steady glow (ooh-ooh) Laughing loud
but the vacuum hides the sound
Spinning while the world is going round
Just another shift... (hmmmm)
On the quiet deck
