From the still-located-in-my-brain novel "Mother Ship." During the second half of the twenty first century, rising oceans, compromised coastal nuclear power stations, soaring temperatures, famine, flood, wildfires and mud and an abandoned nuclear weapons dump in what was WA state goes up triggering the whole gamut of unintentional booby traps that humankind has set fro themselves and sending blast waves into space … the sole survivor on a transport ship coming back from the moon is rocked into the radar radius of the Mother Ship. The ship is an earth colony bankrolled and commanded by an evangelical trillionaire, orbiting the planet before it strikes out into deep space in search of a new home. Do they pick up the stranger? Of course they do, and as the earth below rids itself of homo sapiens he falls in love with the first person he sees upon opening his eyes … the doctor who has saved his life, and who now comes, in accordance with religious observance on board ship, to circumcise him.
lyrics
AS RANDOM AS THE ATOMS CAST, FROM THE BELLY OF AN EXPLODING STAR
COMINGLING INTO A SOLAR SYSTEM WITH A GOLDILOCKS PLANET JUST LIKE OURS
SO A METEOR COULD WIPE OUT THE DINOSAURS
AND ADVANCE THE INFINTESIMALLY SMALL CHANCE THAT YOU AND I WOULD EVER BE BORN
FROM ALL THE SPERM AND EGGS, THAT EVER EXISTED, SINCE MAMMALS FIRST WALKED THE EARTH
PERCHANCE TO EVOLVE SO THAT WE MIGHT BREATHE THIS VERY SAME AIR
AND FIND EACH OTHER IN ORBIT, WHERE WE COULD FALL MADLY IN LOVE …
ONLY TO FALL OUT OF LOVE … IT DOESN’T COMPUTE … AND IT NEVER WILL
BLUE, BLUE, MY BRAIN LIGHTS UP BLUE
TRIGGERED BY A MEMORY OF YOU
IN SPACE YOU CANT SEE IT, YOU CAN’T HEAR IT … BUT IT’S BLUE
DARKER THAN THE DARKEST … DARK MATTER BLUE
OUR HOMO SAPIENS’ BRAIN, CRAVING PATTERN, MAKING MEANING
ONLY ABLE TO FUNCTION, WHEREIN EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
GIVING LIE TO THIS FEELING THAT LOVE EXISTS OUTSIDE THE MOMENT
LEADING ON, LEAD ME ON … TO THE NEXT MOMENT
chorus
THIS IS LOVE FORGED FROM A BILLION JUPITERS
CUPID’S ARROW, BOURNE BY NEURO-TRANSMITTERS
A SPIRALLING CHAIN OF MOLECULES, THE DOUBLE HELIX OF EMOTIONS
UNLEASHING UNKNOWN SIDE EFFECTS, ON THE UNSUSPECTING
BLUE, BLUE, MY BRAIN LIGHTS UP BLUE
TRIGGERED BY A MEMORY OF YOU
IN SPACE YOU CANT SEE IT, YOU CAN’T HEAR IT … BUT IT’S BLUE
DARKER THAN THE DARKEST, DARK MATTER … BLUE
ALL THAT REMAINS OF ME AND YOU

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
I was surfing YouTube and this got looped into my music video mix... seen them live in Detroit for the 2024 North American tour and they crushed it! Awesome band full of energy and fun to watch! nagzxxx
I just got slapped around the head by vinyl Interrobang.
I'm 18, going on 60.......DOH!!!
