CURIOSITY
Curiosity takes me for a ride
Curiosity has nothing left to hide
Curiosity showed me ‘round the place
Curiosity took a picture of my face
An everlasting flame It burns inside my brain
And I wonder sweet Clara how I got my name
I have warm electronics and my 238
A large antenna to help me communicate
I carry your name as I roll around so true
Every time I take a picture I’m thinking of you
So Sharp So Sharp
Everyplace I go I go for you
Everything I learn I learn for you
Everyone I’ve kissed Everyone I’ve missed
Everywhere I go I go for you

NEPTUNE IS COOL
I heard the news on Neptune. It made me want to cry
I can’t see or touch him but I know he’s coming by
He is bigger than the earth. More massive than his twin.
He’s the god of the ocean. He’s dynamic, on the violin.
Neptune is cool.
And that’s the rule.
He wears shades and a hat.
How ‘bout that?
I heard the news on Neptune ….instr fills
I can’t see or touch him ….instr fills
He is bigger than the earth. ….instr fills
He’s the god of the ocean. ….instr fills
Neptune is cool.
And that’s the rule.
He wears shades and a hat.
How ‘bout that?
… Instrumental
Neptune is cool.
And that’s the rule.
He wears shades and a hat.

PIONEER
Let me hold you so near Let me be your pioneer
Let me take you to Venus, Jupiter - or Saturn
Your magnetic fields – oh, what a pattern
Let me feel your power vee Let me show you RTG
Let me take time to address the simple pleasure
Your magnetic fields – I will measure
Let’s leave this solar system and take the gravity assist
Deep Space Networks will be listening
Never mind Never mind the doppler shift
Let me hear your five commands Let me execute away
Let me listen to your heartbeat taste your every want
Your magnetic fields – I’ill be your confidant
Gravity is such a drag
We’ll just ride it we’ll just ride it like a roller coaster
You and me will be one We’ll just be We’ll just on the run
Let’s leave this solar system Take the gravity assist
Deep Space Networks will be listening
Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind
Never mind Never mind the doppler shift

VOYAGER
I gotta get outta this world Find something that’s new
They say I’m a Voyager It’s just what I do
Space interstellar you say A different point of view
Billions of miles I will go To send a message to you
Now you know the System is warped The moons there are many
I am headed for the brightest star Just as Sirius as any
Take care of that pale blue dot shining on the screen.
Kindness and compassion worth more than all I’ve seen
Keep on Flying Higher than before
Keep on Flying You know there must be more
Keep on Flying Higher than before
Keep on Flying Knock down every door
Keep on Flying Higher than before
Keep on Flying You know there should be more
Keep on Flying Higher than before
Keep on Flying Knock down that every door
I’m just a Voyager I’m just a Voyager

PLUTO IS MY PAL
Pluto is my friend on that you can depend
We just fell together in times of stormy weather
Pluto is my pal I don’t know how but Pluto is my pal.
The best friend I ever had in good times and in bad
On that I can depend, beg, borrow, steal or lend
I don’t see Pluto very much but somehow we stay in touch
I’m headed out, out his way thirty five hundred days
Styx, Nix, Kerberos. Hydra and Charon
Round and round and around we go
the best buds you could ever know
When we get together no time has passed
He finishes my sentences, I fill his glass
Pluto is my pal I don’t know how He’s my pal
I don’t know how Pluto is my pal

GIRL GIRL GIRL (I SEE YOU)
Mr. Moon lives down the street. He only comes out at night.
Girl Girl Girl
Ms. Moon comes out even less. She only comes out when it’s best.
Girl Girl Girl
That’s the life here on Jupiter.
Perhaps it’s that way on your planet too.
I see you. You see me. What’s a traveler to do?
Girl girl girl.
Girl girl girl.
In the moonlight Just the pale light In the pale moonlit night
See the meaning Are you leaning? In the pale moonlit night
Girl Girl Girl
Girl Girl Girl
That’s the life here on Jupiter.
Perhaps it’s that way on your planet too.
I see you. You see me. What’s a traveler to do?
Girl girl girl. Girl girl girl.
Girl girl girl. Girl girl girl.

ROVER
My landscape is boundless
Rock crumbles to the past
Sharp winds touch the peaks
The tallest mountains last
Sounds of your very own
Crunch over the plains
Ancient rivers’ dust
Long gone are the rains
Ever smaller stepping
We’re moving slow ahead
The wasteland surrounds us now
I’m blistered by the sun
Horizon, another one
Another stream bed
Journey beginning now
The day it is done
Broken stones Sliding slopes Sand choke the air
Jezero or Utopia? Beauty, grace ‘n danger everywhere, everywhere
STAND… - at the very edge
REACH OUT… - touch the sea
I… - have come to you
You… - have come to me
Dark of night closes in
Daylight breaks with hope within
No matter how far I roam
The sky is my home

CREOLA
Creola, Creola
Summa Cum Laude
Creola, Creola
Back in the hills there’s no school for girls like you
They sent you to In-sti-tute more knowledge to get through
A swimming you would go diving in to pool
You proved you belonged upstairs Now, who, who is the fool?
Your hidden figures showed us the way
We can travel the galaxy together one day
Working together isn’t really that tough
If we stop the buffoonery it’s crazy, lunatic stuff
The children never knew
They were never, never told
We can live together (in peace)
Time to break the hold

NEBULA (IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY)
NGC three one three two
This decision over my head
OOO can’t mean much now
To explore is to live
OOO It’s not about the money
I know I know
It’s not about the money
It’s not about the money

Vol.1: Tales from Vertexia
by Crowhammer
