SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASON 5 OF THE EXPANSE

Lyrics:
When the rocks came down I was a hundred feet underground
Making friends in a subterranean prison compound
There’s destruction all over the feeds
So I’m thinking that it might be a good time to leave
Do you wanna come with me?

Cuz if we stay here in this room With the tsunamis coming soon
The flooding with turn the place into an underwater tomb
We are ten stories below
So I’m thinking that it might be a good time to go
Tell me, do you know

A place where we could find a ship
When no one's watching we’ll take it
We’ll float up to the sky like a weather balloon
I’ve hot wired plenty of rockets before
It’s 400 miles to Baltimore
If we don’t meet our doom
We’re hitching a ride to the moon

We escaped the pit, We’re gonna need to find some transit
We walked a while then came up to a house and I approached it
You stayed out of sight
I told the man inside the house I'm not looking for a fight
I'd tried to be very polite

But he loaded and aimed his gun I had nowhere to run
He made me strip down just to verify my lack of weapons
As I stood there in my underpants
You activated your illegal biochemical implants
Your strength exponentially enhanced
You took him down and now we have some supplies to advance

To a place where we could find a ship
When no ones watching we’ll take it
We’ll float up to the sky like a weather balloon
I’ve hot wired plenty of rockets before
It’s 400 miles to Baltimore
If we don’t meet our doom
We’re hitching a ride to the moon

We stayed there for night then we set out on our bikes
Rode our post-apocalyptic transportation right down the turnpike
It took a little over a week
But we made to the Baltimore arcology
Convinced them to let us inside
And got a drug king pin to give us ride

In his helicopter, we had our exit strategy
A private launchpad on Rattlesnake Island on Lake Winnipesaukee
We can steal a dead rich guy's ship
Someone who died in the fire when the meteors hit
Hopefully security’s weak
So they don’t catch us when we try to sneak

Into a place where we could find a ship
When no ones watching we’ll take it
We’ll float up to the sky like a weather balloon
I’ve hot wired plenty of rockets before
Flyin two hundred miles an hour outta Baltimore
If we don’t meet our doom
If we don’t meet our doom
Well I hope that we get there soon
We’re hitching a ride to the moon
We’re hitching a ride to the moon!
