On Green Mountain
After the arms came off
We saw it all together
Oh, it was enough
Haunted sun, haunted sun, haunted sun
Clear darkness
Dark days
Daydreaming
Dreaming haze
Haunted sun, haunted sun, haunted sun

“Tau Ceti I’m over my head”
In the trees by the watershed
As they say here, “What the fuck?”
Dressed me how they thought
Like this thing called Jesus Built My Hotrod
And the Empire State Boys 1930
Out on the steel beams
White shirt no sleeves
The Riveter x4
It’s not a failed mission on the books
I’m just embarrassed by how I look
When I walk the Harbour doing my job
When my friends are taking the piss
I remind them of my "Ceti Miss"
She can ionize them anytime
Still they call me
My friends still call me
The Riveter x4

Limbs! Limbs!
The member disbarred, the bar was dismembered
Limbs! Limbs!
The member disbarred, the bar was dismembered
Limbs! Limbs!
What were you thinking, when you did that thing?
Limbs! Limbs!
The member disbarred, the bar was dismembered
Limbs! Limbs!
Limbs! Limbs!

The old Blue Moon Cafe has a “new owner” sign
And every afternoon you’ll see me step inside
For last night’s wires
I never work the desk
My office in the back
With stacks of paper filed high
From last night’s wires
