Before I launch into the void I gotta gather them, right?

How many years left, Skunky?

Fifteenth-century emperor sent his fleet west —

I left a mirror there so the world would remember me

Skunky, where the hell am I standing now?

I lagged behind, I lagged so far behind

Everyone’s a little angry, everyone’s a little glaring

But that’s fine, that’s my pace, that’s my pace

Gather them, gather every last one

Before the spaceship door slides shut

Skunky, hold my coat, I’m running late again

I’m detached, I’m detached, I’m beautifully detached

Everyone faintly pissed, everyone faintly staring

But it’s okay, it’s okay — this is my pace, my only pace!

How many years until I’m allowed to leave?

I put the mirror in the ocean where the emperor’s ships sank

Skunky, are you still with me in the lag?

Gather them before I go to space

Gather them before I go to space

I’m behind, I’m behind, but that’s my pace

That’s my pace, that’s my beautiful

Fucked-up pace!

Skunky… hold the mirror…

I’m almost ready…
