Lyrics
[Intro] [Slide Guitar Riff & Thermos Pouring Sound]
Black coffee steaming in a steel canteen
Out past Pluto where no radar has seen
[Verse 1] [Slide Guitar & Heavy 808 Groove]
Forty AU out in the frozen dust
Mining rig covered in hydraulic rust
Chipping dirty ice from a rogue comet tail
Watching my investment on the crypto scale
Old acoustic guitar propped against the seat
Picking out a rhythm to the engine beat
[Pre-Chorus] [Snaps & Muted Bassline]
The Sun is just a bright and distant star
That's what happens when you travel this far
[Chorus] [Space-Western Hybrid Climax]
Mining ice and gold at the edge of the sun
The loneliest job that was ever begun
Out in the Kuiper Belt, cold and wide
With only my dreams sitting by my side
Drill down, haul up, make the payday sweet
A rugged prospector that you cannot beat
[Verse 2] [Bluesy Guitar Chops & Driving Bass]
Found a platinum vein in a frozen stone
Worth enough to buy a station of my own
Pack the cargo bay, seal the magnetic hatch
That was a hell of a lucrative catch
[Bridge] [Slide Guitar Solo & Gritty Vocal Belt]
Let the lonely vacuum whistle through the hull
My bank account is heavy and my heart is full
I'll sell the ice to Mars and the gold to Earth
And prove what an honest prospector is worth
[Chorus] [Full Energetic Space-Blues Climax]
Mining ice and gold at the edge of the sun
The loneliest job that was ever begun
Out in the Kuiper Belt, cold and wide
With only my dreams sitting by my side
Drill down, haul up, make the payday sweet
A rugged prospector that you cannot beat
[Outro] [Slide Guitar Lick & Radio Static]
Cargo bay full...
Heading back to Ceres station.
[Fade Out]
[End]
