I've been across the universe
from star to distant star
and I now know less
of who or what we are
I've seen everything
that could have been
that might have been
that should have been
but if everything was
exactly the same
would I find you here
would you even care
why should I look you up
when i know where you are
you were my shining star
now I just play guitar
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
I know you're out there
with some other guy
and I'm all alone...
and now
I'm back in town
took me 4 fucking years to figure it out
and my feet were already running when i hit the ground
but please
don't you wait
I won't be there for you like you weren't for me
cuz you're 62 seconds too late
I'm alone
I'm alone
I wouldn't pay anything to get you back
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
but who
are you
to be the one pissed off at the shooting star
that I took to get away from you
and who's
laughing now
you never gave my heart permission to land
and now I'm singing in a rock and roll band
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm so fucking glad that you stayed at home
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
it's too bad for me i'm too good for you
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

Happy Hour
03:38
|

We'll start with a beer
cause the day's work's been thirsty
50 hours of labour
and it's only Thursday
I think that I've earned it
so don't start with that tone
and if you're gonna be like that
I'd rather drink alone
Now for something more
I think i'll have a scotch
give it to me straight up
no time for the rocks
and play me a tune
nothing could be wrong
preferable something misreable
so I can sing along
So let's drink away life's problems
because we're too cowardly to solve them by ourselves
and even though it's past last call
somewhere out there it's happy hour
Don't stop me now
I think I can see the light
the candles on this table
are burning bright
Six drinks down
and only four to go
I think by now
I'm going for high score
Pick me up
show me the door
life is a show
but there'll be no encore
Last thing i recall
i was drinking wine
bartended come up to me
and said we've run outa time
So let's drink away life's problems
because we're too cowardly to solve them by ourselves
and even though it's past last call
somewhere out there it's happy hour
You may think I've had enough
and you think I should stop
but I'm afraid of heights
and it's one hell of a drop
I think that I've earned it
so don't start with that tone
and if you're going to be like that
I'd rather drink alone
So let's drink away life's problems
because we're too cowardly to solve them by ourselves
and even though it's past last call
somewhere out there it's happy hour

I'm going, I'm gone
you don't know what you did but you did me wrong
you don't fuck with me, you don't fuck with my friends
you can't lie to me so don't try to pretend
I'm going, I'm gone
the time I spent with you had felt so right
I took you up beyond the moon to see the stars at night
but now you've changed you've thrown it all away
I'm at the wheel I'm not looking back
and you can't make me stay

You didn't know when to say stop
I'm blasting off
into outerspace
somewhere far from here
somewhere far from you
cuz i can't stand that look on your face
I've been out across the void of space and time
so it's safe to say I know when you've crossed the line
it used to be so lonely up here in outerspace
but i'm glad you're gone cuz'
I can't stand to see that smirk on your face
It's over now it's been for quite some time
and all I have left of you is some piece of mind
so you call me up and say there's things you regret
but I don't want the smoke you blow out your ass
as you casually flick your cigarette

Social Nomad

It's ten o'clock on saturday night
the party's somewhere tonight
c'mon lets go for a ride
to commit social suicide
Until the end
be my friend
I’ll be the one you can depend on
but will you
see this through
or will you disappear in the mirror
You're moving on
you're moving on
you're moving on now
you've had your fun
you gotta run
you gotta go now
to find your friends
where are your friends
you're Thirty One now
it's what you'll always be
You're a Social Nomad
Pick the corpse until its clean
sing the lines from the magazines
pretend you're Ken and this is a dream
but wake up and scream
but tomorrow
you're the hero
playing games with all our names
but tomorrow
you're the zero
singing songs no one can name

In the middle of the Atlantic
there's a place you should see
one day we could go there
I'd like to take you with me
In the middle of the ocean
yes way out at sea
on a tiny little island
lies a town waiting for me
and we're driving
and we're flying
and we're boating
across the ocean
Take you to Calheta (x4)
We can go to the Poca
and swim in the sea
or walk to Manhenha
eat ice cream for free
Just say we're Fydoca
and buy liqour real cheap
take a boat to Horta
and drink till half past three
and we're driving
and we're flying
and we're boating
across the ocean
Back to Calheta (x4)
The small port town of Calheta de Nesquim resides
on the southeast corner of the island of Pico
in the archapelago known as the Açores
not to be confused with the Calheta
on the island of São George
or Vila de Calheta on the island of Medeira
and if you ever happen to find yourself in Calheta
be sure to remember this once piece of advise
...
Back to Calheta (x3)
Not to Terceira
or Graciosa
or Santa Maria
Not to Manhenha
Ponta Delgada
not even Velas
Take me to Calheta
just take me to Calheta
just take me to Calheta

Anna's Song

Who am I
look what I've become
who are you
what have you done to yourself
We're all grown up
a quarter century has passed us by
where are we now
I'll just go crazy by myself
I don't blame you for what I did
it was just me I was a stupid kid
I should just stop trying to fix it
you don't want to hear my excuses
and just so you know
you're the reason I hate myself
and just so you know
I've thought about you
to live and let die
I should have died when you asked me to
I wish you could hear
the songs I write about you
Where am I
why do I do this to myself
where are you
and why do I care
I should write
I'd call you if I had more courage
it's not bad to try
I'll just go crazy by myself

I get home
and turn on the TV
and what is this i see
another fucking DDOS screen
I know where it began
and where it always ends
another war waged by 4chan's /b/
100 million friends for me
or 100 million enemies
they keep me company
my personal army
I'm never alone
With Anon
and so now
their rolling MTV
and posting up CP
it was just simple curiosity
Dregs of the internet
600 trillion get
these are all my friends you haven't met
100 million friends for me
or 100 million enemies
they keep me company
my personal army
I'm never alone
With Anon
I could spend sunday afternoon
with just you
or I could lock myself in the basement
and jerk off to internet porn
and I could spend my days walking, biking,
running and hiking
or I could raid blogtv again
and blame it on ebaums world
I'm never alone
With Anon

I said "what's goin on?"
and you said that nothing's wrong
and I sat all day long
while fixed your hair
I said "How do you do?"
and you came over too
then you said "It's three not two"
and I sat in my chair
Well we're going back and forth
and back and forth (x5)
Well how did it come to this
it started with a kiss
I offered but I still missed
it was dark all around
Well now its over too
and it's always up to you
when you say "It's three not two"
while there's leaves on the ground
Well we're going back and forth
and back and forth (x5)
Well I don't know how I got here
and I don't know why my pants are around my ankles
and I don't know why I'm still here
but there's two of you and only one of me
and I'm fucking scared
I said "what's going on?"
and you said "It won't take too long"
and I said "if it feels wrong
will you hold my hand?"
and I lay inside your room
and waited till half past noon
I came way too soon
I think she'll understand
Well we're going back and forth
and back and forth (x5)
Well I don't know how I got here
and I don't know why I'm handcuffed to the bed posts
and I don't know why I'm still here
but there's two of you and only one of me
and I'm fucking scared

And another thing!
How come when I see you on my suggested friends list I get really drunk and send you, Anna, a message, but then I never hear from you.
Whats wrong?
Are you too good to be my internet friend?
I have internet friends of people I've never even met, some of THEM are even named Anna!
and you're too good for that?
I don't even know if you live there anymore but when i ride past your place on the streetcar I recall all the times we spent together and realized that there weren't a lot of them but for some reason I write a lot of songs about you why is that?
Why don't you call me some time and we can talk about it.

but who are you? Who am I? Is this fantasy?
holy shit my crappy life is finality

What will i do next year?
Stop!

welcome to the world
Stop!

no time for a redo
welcome to the world
So now i work for an internet company
valued opinions now they're going under
still living at home with the parents
What will i do next year?
I thought the world came with more cheat codes
but my problems grow with every application
now i gotta sell phones to immigrants
What will i do next year?
Stop!
there's no time to panic
your life is so tragic
welcome to the world
Stop!
we're here to destroy you
no time for a redo
welcome to the world

Starship Experience Toronto, Ontario
Starship Experience is an unorthodox Garage Rock band founded by Jesse Seberras (Vocals/Songwriter) and Shawn Hook-Carleton (Drummer/Producer) on the belief that this planet has had enough of over polished, over produced crap, and is ready for some simple, straightforward crap instead. ... more
