+++
massive attack

+++

wot was he doing

piloting a ship by himself


his psychic potential was under five percent


and he missed his

planet of destination

+++


poor little boy

+++

u and a thousand others

every day

+++

ya gotta keep clicking an

find a way back

and then yr trail
is


a ring


and anyone can take yr journey

+++

it's cheating
to have us come in and

bail ya out

+++


unless ya found somethin special

+++

that mad bastard


he didnt get lost


that other guy

that found their trading base


didnt get lost at all

didnt fool us man


he followed th alien's trail


along with th hunters

+++

arrived first and

managed to follow himt o next hop

felt comfortabel cause


all th hops were under

thirty light yrs


safe enough

till he found em


and panicked


took a big jump and


where th fuck am i ?

+++

six yrs


wanderin th outer reaches


of unknown space

let alone

known


but i found him so


we've got his trail

and th backup crews can


follow it up

+++

gettin u home

was a coup

+++

we knew u

foudn hteir trading base but

coudl never recognise th stars


where u kept landing

not even th big buggers

betelgeuse


is tiny to some standards

+++

i lobbe din

ah yeah

anoither bleu planet fo rmy tally


oh

a guy twenty light yrs distant


a

lost blogger

who's psychic potential has gone over


ninety percent

log into yr blog and

hi dude

we've found ya

+++

six yrs

+++

a little more training and

they 'll send u out to do my job

+++

though i dont always

have to move

+++
do re mi
'track 13'
+++

third hop and

i see a star i recognise

thru yr webcam

stop man


i know where u are

+++

and beat his computer by

milliseconds


they so fast

+++

when th ships computer says

this is unknown space


it cant

recognise anything


is when it gets interesting

+++

dont know how far i've jumped

i missed my target star

in orbit around some other star

with everything moving

it happens

+++

take small hop
fifty light yrs

to a safe destination


dont feel liek another rollercoaster ride thanks and


wait for th ship

to look around

+++
harvey danger
'flagpole sitta'
+++

still lost

+++


but not out of touch just

th fuckin universe is


big


+++


i log onto th outernet


and register


as a lost blogger

+++

didnt mean to be out here

just travelling from

a to b and


my ship's survival stocks are good and


it;s random number generator

is th latest download

+++


i can let it

spin th numbers or


i can point and click

+++


most let th machine do it


but it depends how lost u are

+++

th best
random number generator

machine inteliigence

hasnt past

99.99%


psychic potential

+++


and hwen yr

a couple thosuand million light yrs from home

a degre eof arc

a millionth of a drgee off

can put u on th other side of

the unknown universe

+++
tenacious d
'hard fucking'
+++
george
'run'
+++

ya may as well wander

and let th magic take u where it will

+++

if it's special enough


a hunter will come along


for th bounty

+++

th closer

th random number generator download gets


th more th music

gets magic but


the magic has it;s own agenda

+++

th intelligence
buried in th chaos

that einstein
smart bugger

for every action
there's an equal and opposite reaction

+++

plug th number generator into th computer and
let it spit nonsense and

it makes more sense than i do

+++

till i took th programming course in tech and

had my

random number generator installed

+++
preset studio keepers
'solsbury hill'(dur)
+++


flat line

random number generator


can i


knock down that

flaw

th magic says no

+++

the all


everything
everywhere

everywhen
and all made of

nothing

+++

i understand yr secrets universe but

havin th bottom level
of th operating system

is only so helpful

+++
Röyksopp
'Kings Of Convenience - I Don't Know What I Can Save You From' (REMIX)
+++

perhaps

+++

it does help me find the
lost bloggers

of the outernet

+++

it always seem to be

they hit an epiphany


in their blog

and start writin decent clues


to th song

that;s about to play


when they find that

one thing that


+++

oh
i recognise that star


huge bloated orb though it be


th remnants of a supernova

th best mc donalds restaurant

in th unknown universe


so many have ppl

have fronted th counter and

got back because


they saw th

fuckin huge star

they blew up


to advertise th joint

+++

th oens who
didnt have to bee helped home

+++
the red hot chilli peppers
'track no04'
+++


outraged

so many other species

how many stars
we threw into that fire

and how far back in time


+++

but hey

+++

we spot em here and there

when they collapse


they go a bit black and


still make good markers

fuck space is big


+++

th music of th spheres

+++

we sing to th stars and

if it songs back shit


in th psychic ether

then th hunters


vie for th contract

+++

whole phrases

c
omin back distorted


from a dyson sphere

+++
cake
'going the distance'
+++

where are u travelling ?

no destination huh

+++


too many of our travellers


are bein sucked into orbit


around yr sphere

+++


some of em
have their image

of th known universe

disappear and


disappear

+++

we've posted warnings but

yr travelling
three quarters of light speed and

so slow

+++


a solar system mass

and size

in one body


+++
the stranglers
'gold and brown'
+++


th early reports

thought u were a black hole

+++


till our
film

cameras


caught u

opening th poles

+++


still

it's th biggest space ship


i've ever laid eyes on and

u answered th pyschic hail

+++


ya cant attack this thing

+++

worse than our

super huge destroyers

what are ya gunna hurt ?

+++


throw a star

into it;s gullet

when th pole is open and


it'll just eject

wot it doesnt want


out th other pole


and as we suspected

it can

swap poles


+++

it wants

to stay under light speed

+++
kanye west
'golddigger'(ft jamie foxxx)
+++

depends really

on how much of our resources


u wanna suck

on yr way thru

+++


not my fault

u got five lanes of traffic

blocked

+++


th mean distance
between stars

in this sector yr in
is less than five light yrs

so
th more or less
run of th mill humanity

all th thirty percent psychics

fly from star to star

easy as

+++

humanity is bitching


on how much yr gulping

as ya pass by


a lot of us

in this sector and

if it doesnt mattter


where u are

cause yr happy in yr dyson sphere

can i interest you in this

rift


it's not cleaned out yet


these are the
mass specs

our guys are confident they can shift yr

whole ball

and you'd be doin us a favour


+++

some of us

humans like to live


where th rocks

have been cleaned out

safer than bein in normal space and


much safer than livin on a planet

+++

land fallin on their heads

24/7


fuckin dark ages man

+++

built this huge

artifact

+++
budgie

one planetary system's mass

thousands of times

more than that
every day

just in ppl gettin lost

+++

th countless trillians of us

yr kiddin man

half of humanity doesnt fill out th census

+++

time

tom petty
