Lyrics

Tranquility Base, what's your directive
Should I go ahead as planned
Should I wander off to the battlefield
And issue your demand

Tranquility Base, can you hear me
This is no time to brood
Prepare your women
Pack up your children
'Cause we are on the move

As a child I used to dream about this all
To take up arms and watch as empires fall
And as you know quite well
Sometimes things get out of hand
Now I'm the devil in your economy
And the sickness in your land

Tranquility Base, can you read me
I'm on the open road
I'm all alone
My cover's blown
So speak to me in code

Tranquility Base, can you feel me
I've reached the final stage
It's too late now
They broke their vow
This is the final page

As a child I used to dream about this all
To take up arms and watch as empires fall
And as you know quite well
Sometimes things get out of hand
Now I'm the devil in your economy
And the sickness in your land

We love nothing more than playing music for you and putting on really fun live events. All digital tip proceeds go directly to The Grift for the next live concert event. This virtual tip jar reminds us of the early days when we had Barry Gib (good idea box) that got passed around at every show... Marker drawing by Peter Day.
