lyrics
The odds were a million to one
And I was that one
The beast would swallow up things whole
and I was left stunned
It swallows up entire worlds— it must be destroyed
anything left in its path becomes part of the void
So I have got a new mission—
I'll command this crew
the beast must be defeated if
it’s the last thing I do
With great abandon it attacked my ship
Was left with battered sails
The monster’s skin: neutronium
The beast was quite a whale
Left my crew on a class M— so they would stay alive
Was to go down with the ship, but only I survived
So I have got a new mission—
I'll command this crew
the beast must be defeated if
it’s the last thing I do
And so I must, sing my last hurrah
I have lost my crew
I take this launch as a loss
I bid goodbye to you
Cannot pierce it from outside— got too thick a skin
I’ll ram this ship down the gullet, destroy it from within
I have got a new mission—
I will command this crew
the beast must be defeated if
it’s the last thing I do
And I was that one
The beast would swallow up things whole
and I was left stunned
It swallows up entire worlds— it must be destroyed
anything left in its path becomes part of the void
So I have got a new mission—
I'll command this crew
the beast must be defeated if
it’s the last thing I do
With great abandon it attacked my ship
Was left with battered sails
The monster’s skin: neutronium
The beast was quite a whale
Left my crew on a class M— so they would stay alive
Was to go down with the ship, but only I survived
So I have got a new mission—
I'll command this crew
the beast must be defeated if
it’s the last thing I do
And so I must, sing my last hurrah
I have lost my crew
I take this launch as a loss
I bid goodbye to you
Cannot pierce it from outside— got too thick a skin
I’ll ram this ship down the gullet, destroy it from within
I have got a new mission—
I will command this crew
the beast must be defeated if
it’s the last thing I do

He sings about love, science, politics, socially awkward people, and things like that. Now armed with witty lyrics, catchy melodies, and a bunch of mediocre jokes, he's ready to entertain you. ... more
