Gully Foyle




you can listen to it here

this was inspired by alfred bester's sci-fi epic, stars my destination. john plays bass.


from room to room I float
gathering canisters of air
I have not lost all hope
vorga saw my flare

it's all behind me
what I wanted
it will never be

they're drifting past me
now why would that be?
vorga! I'll kill you filthy

moira, I love you but it was never meant to be
I won't live on this rock--I can't be a part of your community

they inked my face with a tiger's mask
called me "nomad" no, they never asked
secrets I keep, others I won't mention
but my name's Gully Foyle
and the stars my destination

working fast now
trying to get it to spin
I'm a man on a mission
with a spaceship to kill
and a world to win

it's all behind me
what I wanted
it will never be
