Mothership on the One

[Intro]

Three suns blink

Sky turns grape

Gold teeth grin

Gate of escape

[Chant]

(We want the funk)

(We want the ride)

(We want the ship)

(Take us inside)

[Verse 1]

Silver suit

House shoes

Ticket stamped

Past due

Got my cousins

Got my crew

All in line for the redo

Dusty planet

Same fight

Same bill

Late night

Then the air tastes like starlight

Purple smoke

Green light

[Pre-Chorus]

Who rang that bell?

Who cracked that dome?

Something huge in the heavens

Calling us home

[Chorus]

Mothership on the one

Better get in line

If your heart got funk

You already mine

Beam me up

Boots

Hair

Rent

And soul

Mothership on the one

Let the good times roll (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Big auntie with the blue wig

Screaming

“Hit that switch!”

Little kid with the space shades

Doing every old man twitch

Captain with the rhinestone cane

Struts down like he own the rain

Says

“Y’all tired of the same old pain?

Climb aboard

Untrain your brain”

[Pre-Chorus]

Hands up high

Pockets low

Ship door open

Time to go

[Chorus]

Mothership on the one

Better get in line

If your heart got funk

You already mine

Beam me up

Boots

Hair

Rent

And soul

Mothership on the one

Let the good times roll (oh yeah)

[Bridge]

Left my worries on the cracked red ground

Traded my shame for that freak-flag sound

Every “too much” kid

Every night-shift queen

Now we glow like chrome in a movie scene

[Call & Response]

Leader: Can I get a ride?

Crowd: Take me higher!

Leader: Can you feel that tide?

Crowd: Funky fire!

Leader: Are you ready to expand?

Crowd: Yes we are!

Leader: Put your fears in my hand

Crowd: Drive this star!

[Chorus]

Mothership on the one

Better get in line

If your heart got funk

You already mine

Beam me up

Boots

Hair

Rent

And soul

Mothership on the one

Let the good times roll

[Outro]

Mothership on the one

Countdown done

Three

Two

One

We already gone (gone, gone, gone)
