Rock this Rocketvan

from The Alien Album by Ham Sandwich Quantum Party

about

I haven't met that being yet, but who knows, maybe she is out there...

lyrics

No space shuttle for me man
cause I'm gonna get myself a rocketvan

--

I'm gonna fly it at a reasonable pace
Rock this rocketvan cause I'm in outer space, yeah
I'll use it to drive my kids around
Rockin' that four-nozzle tinny sound

--

The other day I was looking to buy a ship
so I went to my local space-port
and there was a quadruped there, he said to me
'by the power vested in my by the Federation, we'll see what we gort'

it was definitely used and asteroid-dented
ten years old or more and previously rented
it powered on a little rough with a - a warning on the screen
but the reactor was good, and most systems were green

--

I'm gonna fly it at a reasonable pace
Rock this rocketvan cause I'm in outer space, yeah
I'll use it to drive my kids around
Rockin' that four-nozzle tinny sound

spacey minivan rock
hyperspeed the van rock
don't open the airlock
spacey minivan rock

some of the landing gear just don't roll out
but being super frugal makes me super proud

--

the tariffs owed on this one
they're pretty small
I don't care
if the retro rockets sometimes stall

I got my credits right here,
but maybe I can press 'em for a deal
they said,
'you know I'm telepathic, right?'

then they said
'are you sure you don't want something more, uh, mate-attracting?'
I said
'who do you think I am, someone you can be easily distracting?'

'the teleport smells of rotten cheese and deodorizing spray'
'besides, mates don't want a magnet, they want diverse dna!'

--

I'm gonna fly it at a reasonable pace
Rock this rocketvan cause I'm in outer space, yeah
I'll use it to drive my kids around
Rockin' that four-nozzle tinny sound

spacey minivan rock
hyperspeed the van rock
don't open the airlock
spacey minivan rock

some of the landing gear just don't roll out
but being super frugal makes me super proud

--

I left the lot with the ship in tow
having just linked it to my genetic code, yeah
somewhere out there's a being who'll think my rocketship is swell
and maybe her species just won't be able to smell

--

spacey minivan rock
hyperspeed the van rock
don't open the airlock
spacey minivan rock

some of the landing gear just don't roll out
but being super frugal makes me super proud
