It's "Whose AIM is to fall flat at their feet", not "mission".
And if it was;
"And in space, two receivers turn away
Just in case, two receivers turn away

What you said about the novel Gravity's Rainbow (by Pynchon) is correct, though I haven't heard that the book is some sort of "key" to understand Klaxon's lyrics. Great read though.
