Relativity

I could see it through the port hole
I could hear it on the beep
I had always heard the stories
But my eyes have never seen

Cruising on an ancient path
Cruising on some alien math
(Up) among the stars in a different act
Soviet sent and it don't come back

If this is relativity
Then I want off, it's not for me
What if aliens have no secret?

I could find another starship
I could navigate the rim
Dead drop my credits in an asteroid belt, go and strip my microchip
Back earthside I remember vaguely
Talk to people who could come and save me
Go clear in the deepest space
Show up in a different place

If this is relativity
Then I want down, it's not for me
What if aliens have no secret?
What if aliens don't love Jesus?
What if aliens got no secrets?

There are no coordinates for Tatooine
No one here knows what the hell that means
No Star Trek Neil DeGrass-y Sagan
Just nukes and blood and guts and Reagan
No boops and beeps from droids and friends
Just an airless sucking vacuum way
Where math is God and life is strange
Where love's a pain you can't exchange

Hey computer,
Am I seeing what I think I see?
It's been a real long time
So I'm checking with thee

Am I seeing what I think I see?
