    Spacesick on my spaceship
    Spacesick on my spaceship

    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

    Earth-rise doesn't hit quite the same when you've 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

    [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 dowr
    Four, three, two, one
    We have lift-off
    We're heading out
    That's when it turned south

    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

    Moaning and groaning
    Rolling side to side
    The parasites are building a city on my intestines

    [Joey Walker]
    I see you
    Swaddled by the solidity of terrestrial fabric
    Entangled in it's loam
    I see you
    I pull you taut and you dissolve between white-knuckled fists
    Like a hand full of sand reclaimed by gravity
    Ooh-ooh
    (Ooh)

    June 22 continued...
    I lost ya there; must've been a solar flare
    Where was I
    Yeh, 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
