Track Insight / Lyrics
I've seen freighters come and go
My doors don't care for fast or slow
This cat don't chase a laser dot
She guards the bay, she guards the lot
Hangar calico, queen of the night
Walking the ribs in the pale starlight
No meow for the void, just a steady stare
She keeps the watch while the crew isn't there
Her fur is marked like a circuit map
She steps soft, avoids the sensor trap
No radar blip, no thermal trace
Just whiskers twitching in this place
Hangar calico, queen of the night
Walking the ribs in the pale starlight
No meow for the void, just a steady stare
She keeps the watch while the crew isn't there
The old hands say she brings good luck
She never slips, she never gets stuck
She sleeps on the warm intake vent
Dreams of mice on the descent
Hangar calico, queen of the night
Walking the ribs in the pale starlight
No meow for the void, just a steady stare
She keeps the watch while the crew isn't there
A meteor ping on my outer skin
She doesn't flinch, she doesn't spin
Just licks a paw and blinks slow
The best copilot I'll ever know
No salary, no union card
Just instinct pulling the graveyard shift hard
She's the soul of this tin can heart
Never together, never apart
When the last shuttle lifts for home
She'll still be here, she'll still roam
My lights go dim, my air goes cold
But her green eyes never get old
Hangar calico, queen of the night
Walking the ribs in the pale starlight
No meow for the void, just a steady stare
She keeps the watch while the crew isn't there
Hangar calico, queen of the night
Walking the ribs in the pale starlight
No meow for the void, just a steady stare
She keeps the watch while the crew isn't there
Steel ribs hum in the black
A calico pads the rack
Vacuum sings a quiet song
Where the stray cat belongs
