lyrics

It’s six in the morning and I’ve caught a buzz
Some drink from heartache
and some drink because
The pressures of the job
got me reaching for a cup
No one can be certain
we won’t be breaking up

I’m a man on a mission,
I need steady nerves
I know the earth ain’t flat,
I’ve seen its curves
Give me one for the road,
one more for the climb
I’m a man on a mission, and it’s
Countdown Time

I got motion sickness,
I could really use a nurse
The cabin spins around me,
behind me spins the earth
Kill the rocket boosters,
we’re on cruise control
We’ll make a tiki bar out of the console

I’m a man on a mission,
I need steady nerves
I know the earth ain’t flat,
I’ve seen its curves
Give me one for the road,
one more for the climb
I’m a man on a mission, and it’s
Countdown Time

We all shared a dream, one day we would fly
Raise one small shot for man,
one giant toast to all mankind

Then I see flashing lights, behind me is a cop
He asks if I’ve been drinking,
and why I didn’t stop
He says step out of the car, son,
and show me some ID
But it’s hard to walk a straight line
in zero gravity

I’m a man on a mission,
I need steady nerves
I know the earth ain’t flat,
I’ve seen its curves
Give me one for the road,
one more for the climb
I’m a man on a mission, and it’s
Countdown Time

about

Fireships Brooklyn, New York

“Accessible and anthemic, Fireships are also as cutting edge as rock bands get these days… you could call it Americana chamber pop… Andrew Vladeck writes fearlessly populist, Dylanesque narratives, and the band gets gritty with some pretty straight-up highway rock from time to time.” ~ New York Music Daily ... more
