about

This is not a musical piece, nor anything like the original song, "the Bride" which was my unabashed solicitation for a sex partner when I wrote it at 19. I have since been married twice.

lyrics

Nice car kid. A classic car!
I thought so. Self reliant, resourceful. You like classic cars because they can operate under battlefield conditions. Don’t be scared, there’s a reason you were brought here. There’s a reason for your weakness, your respiratory problems, your comfort zone in the thin cold air of high mountains. People, oh they’re getting ugly and open to outlandish ideas. Not the details, of course, but they know you aren’t fully human. Bioforming and terraforming, we called it the “Bride of Mars” project. How’d you like to go to mars, kid?
– am, am I an android?
Sort of. When we get there you’ll adapt quickly. You may be able to survive for hours at a time on the surface. A few generations down there will be a happy medium between bioforming and terraforming and your great grandchildren will be martians, not a mere engineer, such as myself, who has been there and begun the work.
--why?
Well, as you’ve probably guessed, there’s a… population control and eugenics program going on… but we know we won’t be able to kill every undesirable. Firstly, we need to know if we can colonize nearby planets, and secondly, we want to take any stray undesirables and send them to you, to put them under your control on a planet where escape means death.
– I can’t escape…
You can escape but you can’t be free. We removed free will from your kind… not that there are many of you left. As I said, even these hicks up here around Tahoe have been getting wise to you… look at this headline “Paranoids shoot Martians in the sierra Nevadas” that’s you, Chris, and you’re the last one to go uncollected, one of the last ones left, in fact. Our breeding pool is small, admittedly, and the project is subject to termination at a moment’s notice, but if you’ll get in your car and drive me, there’s a peak on the way to Westville where my spacecraft is waiting. You can’t, you know, turn me down.
