about

at the time I wrote this song I wasn't aware it had anything to do with drugs...

the story is about two kids who build a kind of rocket to travel into space.

Enjoying their adventurous trip at first, they begin to get scared as they navigate directly towards a black hole in the shape of a giant cake.

Probably it is just a dream and they will wake up soon... ;-)

This is the original "Progressive rock"-version, I still adore the magnificent drum playing of Mr. Jonas Engelke.

In 2010 I recorded the song again in a stripped-down version on ukulele.
You can find it on my album "..in fact it's a freak show"

lyrics

spacecake
(w+m: mats regen)

we check our new invention
we've called it space car
its clever built construction's
made to reach the stars

we're lifting off the ground
touching the clouds
drunken angels blaming us
for burning down their towns

hotel room supper waits
but we do not appear
until now noone had noticed we're not there

chorus
mayday!
we're going to sink in a spacecake
our master is leading us into disaster
mummy!
I've got an ache in my tummy
could you leave the light on tonight?

we choose a new direction
it's getting too quiet
we thought to hear a goggle box
that plays good tunes tonight

our map is leading us
into nowhere
we've never seen this place before
of course we do not care

did you see the shooting star
that crawled with elephants?
let's wish we'd never have to go to bed again

chorus

our blanket skies Germany

some years ago this odd but gentle troubadour and storyteller who is aka "our blanket skies" went out for a long walk and didn't even write a postcard. For once he wrote a few new tunes in the meanwhile and is looking forward to present them to you as soon as he's finished the dishes. ... more
