	Story Behind the Song This song is a tribute to two people: Douglas Adams, and Reese Roper. Disaster Area was a band in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams whose songs followed the traditional pattern of "boy-being meets girl-being under a silvery moon which suddenly explodes for no adequately explored reason." This then was my premise. That being the case I wanted to write in a style that would pay homage to Reese Roper of Five Iron Frenzy/Brave Saint Saturn who created the genre "Astro Rock." Lyrics Verse One: He was an average teenage boy being They called him loser. "You're such a freak." His hotrod starship could do warp seven He was an interstellar punk rocker But the one thing that was alwasy on his mind Was his longing for a punk rock girl being Verse Two: She was an average teenage girl being She went to parties, concerts, and movies Her hair dyed purple, as purple as the sky She was an interstellar punk rocker But the one thing that was always on her mind Was her longing for a punk rock boy being Chorus: Teenage longing, the same on every planet And yet they think that they're the only ones It's going on the same on ever planet Heart's reaching out to find someone Verse Three: Then at a concert they both attended The band was bustin' a punk rock rhythm They danced the night away next to each other Now all their hopes and dreams were coming true And as the moon grew brighter high up in the sky They felt a joy that they'd both been missing Bridge: During a slow song they held each other She smiled up at him and he smiled back at her Then their lips met in a kiss of love so tender And high up in the sky the moon exploded
