about

Math, space, science, and hating everyone around me. So a happy song, really. :D

lyrics

White Trash Folk - Escape Velocity
Lyrics and Music © Rick Shelton

7 miles per a second
420 miles in a minute
25,200 miles per hour
604,800 miles in a day
But 62 miles is all I've got to reach

Oh-oh escape velocity is all I need to achieve
To get me right the hell out of here
I've burned my bridges, smoked out some witches,
Then I gave away & went &spent up almost all of my riches
And yet I still can't bite back this fear

I have cast my vote that I will try to abstain
There's nothing I can do to make sense of this plane
I'm gonna need to guns for this one
To ensure total irradication of my brains

I'll need two guns to blow out all of my brains
Or maybe, just maybe I can escape

7 miles per a second
420 miles in a minute
25,200 miles per hour
604,800 miles in a day
Only just under 9 seconds to go

Trust your mechanics and doctors from the heart
They fix you up real nice, "See you next week for the next part"
I'm sick of these pushers, car dealers, shady pimps, and dirty whores
And I don't wanna live on this planet anymore

No, I want to go
7 miles per a second
420 miles in a minute
25,200 miles per hour
604,800 miles in a day
