about

It's a two-song, space-travel suite!

lyrics

"Prelude"

Fly away with me
up into the stars
Other worlds await us
Beautiful, mysterious
Fly away with me
Tonight

Tell me all the galaxies you want to see
and we'll go
Fire up the spaceship and then we'll be free
On our own
Adventuring endlessly
Fly away with me
Tonight

"Love Conquers the Universe"

As we’re blasting through the stars
eating takeout food
there's a message in a cookie
that changes the mood
It says, "Love Conquers the Universe Today"

We encounter alien wars
everywhere we land
We show our message to the leaders
Now they understand
that Love Conquers the Universe Today

Millions of blinking eyes on stalks
turn to us when we speak
And deadly ray guns gently
fall from weary tentacles

Looking out the porthole glass
burning bright and clear
it's a heart-shaped constellation
so that's where we steer

Suddenly battleships arrive
They'll try to make us go
But you and I will be triumphant
because as you know
Love Conquers the Universe Today
