Psychedelic soul / retro-futurist male vocal track, 98 BPM Dorian mode (faintly minor, warm-edged), core instrumentation: warbly tremolo Wurlitzer and warped clavinet, slapping muted funk bass, punchy trumpet stabs and spiraling baritone sax, tape-echo backwards fuzz guitar, swelling theremin-layered string swells, shaker and conga percussion. Incandescent male lead with searing falsetto, gospel-drenched ad-libs, possessed impassioned delivery. Lyrics follow a late-night interstellar truck stop narrator drifting between neon roadstop lust and fuzzy transmissions from a distant galaxy he once called home, weaving imagery of cracked chrome dashboards, stardust on leather seats, and half-remembered earthly longing tangled with cosmic wonder.
歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Cracked chrome on the dash Burning like a lightning flash Leather seats smell of stars Better than the city bars Wurlitzer hums a low tune Underneath a purple moon I’m leaning on the wheel Testing if the dream is real [Pre-Chorus] Static in the radio wire Setting my whole soul on fire Signals from a world I knew Drowning in a shade of blue [Chorus] At the Neon Nebula Stop Watching all the planets drop I’m a billion miles from home In this cosmic chrome Searching for a human touch Missing you a little too much Yeah, I’m missing you [Post-Chorus] (Ooh, the stardust) (Yeah, the lust) Drifting in the gold Never getting old (High falsetto) I’m coming home! [Break] [Verse] Clavinet begins to warp Playing on my heavy heart Baritone sax starts to moan Echoes in the danger zone Shaker keeps the steady beat Walking on the solar street I see the diesel haze Lost inside a starlit maze [Pre-Chorus] Static in the radio wire Setting my whole soul on fire Signals from a world I knew Drowning in a shade of blue [Chorus] At the Neon Nebula Stop Watching all the planets drop I’m a billion miles from home In this cosmic chrome Searching for a human touch Missing you a little too much Yeah, I’m missing you [Bridge] (Gospel Ad-libs) Can you hear the gospel call? Watching every empire fall Theremin is screaming loud Dancing on a silver cloud I remember green, green grass Looking through the cockpit glass Lord, take me back tonight To the warmth of earthly light [Hook] Chrome and dust Love and lust Chrome and dust In God we trust Chrome and dust Love and lust [Verse] The waitress got Orion’s eyes Selling me those velvet lies Coffee tastes like liquid light In the middle of the night Transmission fading out so fast Nothing here is built to last I’m shifting into gear Trying to outrun the fear [Chorus] At the Neon Nebula Stop Watching all the planets drop I’m a billion miles from home In this cosmic chrome Searching for a human touch Missing you a little too much Yeah, I’m missing you [Post-Chorus] (Ooh, the stardust) (Yeah, the lust) Drifting in the gold Never getting old (High falsetto) I’m coming home! [Outro]
