Traveling Matt

Roaming through space on my steed I'm a cowboy now

And I need to be free from the seeds of my family's tree

As I fly through the skies on a horse with wings

It brings me to worlds that I love and adore and wish to explore

Now that bird is gone and I'm all alone

Roller coasting in the space frontier

Holding close to my holster something most men fear

Clare is [?] Surfing The Galaxy my steed

Is the constellation using constipation

So the speed has no conservation

Energy is real on the feel

Battling the space time continuum

With Orion's Belt Ice Pirating

Spending nights admiring

Unknown suns that seem to float in the dark abyss

I Part My shit Dismount then I walk around the red dunes of mars

Heads turn in amazement at my mode of transportation

The worst part to the port man you can use your imagination

I can't explain the faces that express the fascination

At my body's salvation I hadn't seen a human since

Mother earth had passed

I was the first and last

Whose feet set foot on grass

I broke up the plant life

I spoke of the last days on earth

I told them the man-kinds biggest mistakes

And how it hurt

To see humankind burn away in a flash of light

The beings seemed to feed off my daydreams of life

They wanted to know why

I told them I couldn't tell them within the hour I had

I had to return to Neptune and see the rings of Saturn

I had to feet the next moon to keep my travel patterns

They understood, so I overlaid my body on my steed and

Proceeded to the next planet and the next candidate for me to be for eternity

Roaming through space on my steed I'm a cowboy now

And I need to be free from the seeds of my family's tree

As I fly through space on a horse with wings

It brings me to worlds that I love and adore and wish to explore

Now that bird is gone and I'm all alone

When I arrived at Neptune,

I dismounted and smiled

The beautiful blue mountainsides

And the faces of a child

She welcomed me so happily

And took me to her home

Where I met up with my peoples

That I hadn't seen for so long

I said how long has it been?

Last time I saw you I was 10

Now I'm 53 look at you and me

Back together again

He asked me where id been

I told him I'd been going up and living life with friends

I told him about the end and the demise of my earth

He told me that he watched it on satellite from the jump

I pumped my speeds

Oxygen feed

Then led him to a corral

Where he sipped the blue mau

Then I told my true pal

One more stop and id be back

Saturn was my destination

Destiny untapped for my travel map
