Lyrics
"Alright then, one last time." Like whiskey laced with gasoline, we're deadly when we're drunk So shut your face and settle down, you sneering little punks For space is vast, you are small, it’s black and bitter cold The book is lying open, there are tales to be told The fire is burning lower and the stars are shining bright We’ve stories grim as pistol lead to tell to you tonight So grab yourself a mug of beer, gin or vodka, hold it near The book is lying open, there are tales to be told "Killers and renegades, liars and thieves. Welcome! We are The Mechanisms, the crew of the starship Aurora. Roving through the galaxy, having fun, violence, adventure, violence, violence. Allow me a brief moment of self indulgence to introduce to you the crew of our mighty starship. There's Drumbot Brian, our pilot. Ashes O'Reilly, quartermaster. Gunpowder Tim, our master at arms. Baron Marius von Raum, ship's doctor. Raphaella la Cognizi, science officer. And Ivy Alexandria, our archivist. And last, but the very opposite of least, myself. Jonny d'Ville, your humble captain." "FIRST MATE." "Really. We're dying and you can't give me this. Sometimes I don't know why I bother." So mind your manners, sonny Jim, we’ve seen beyond the stars And if you want to prove it I can show you all the scars So know the void is screaming mad, no happy endings out there, lad The book is lying open, there are tales to be told "Yes, we are for one last time, The Mechanisms. And we have just a few stories for you. It's a shame, but all things, all people, must die. Some of us sooner than others. But first we thought we'd tell you one of our grander tales. Shall we?"
