Jetpack Heartbeat
High-energy retro rockabilly with 1960s garage surf influences, tempo about 140 BPM, wild slapback echo, raw lo-fi vocals, fuzz guitar riffs, twangy leads, steady snare-driven beat, sci-fi organ glissandos, and cosmic sound FX (jetpacks, rayguns, radio chatter), Think The 5, 6, 7, 8’s meet The B-52s in an asteroid dive bar, Fast tempo, playful and chaotic, with punk attitude and vintage space flair

Lyrics
Intro – Garage drums, slapback guitar riff, space organ glissando
Verse 1
Radar’s buzzin’ – you’re close again
That silver suit drives me insane
Laser lips, atomic smile
You make warp speed feel worthwhile
Chorus
Joan, don’t go —
Don’t jump back into that black hole
I’ve got my jetpack heartbeat high
Baby, love me ‘til we fry!
(Flash! Bang! Cosmic delight!)
Let’s crash through time in neon light!
Verse 2
You shot me down on Mars and Venus
But baby, no one’s quite between us
My love ain’t bound by Newton’s law
I’d fight a fleet with just my jaw
Bridge – spoken & shouted intercut, 60s-style
Captain Future:
"I faced the Brain Men of Sirius Nine… but girl, you’re the one bending space!"
Joan (mocking):
"You never listen, you just blast!"
Captain Future:
"But I wrote you this song at light-speed!"
Screaming - guitar solo kicks in
Instrumental interlude - spacy guitar solo, extended band jam
Chorus
Joan, don’t go —
Don’t jump back into that black hole
I’ve got my jetpack heartbeat high
Baby, love me ‘til we fry!
Moon to Mercury, Earth to Sun,
You’re my one in a zillion, hun!
Chorus – Repeat with more chaos
Joan, don’t go —
Don’t jump back into that black hole
I’ve got my jetpack heartbeat high
Baby, love me ‘til we fry!
Outro
Joan, don’t go
Joan, don’t go
