Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space
Beep beep beep
The motor is running, everything is in place
My heavy breathing fogs up the glass placed in front of my face
The various buttons, I want to press them, such a colorful display
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re making history today
I feel trapped by the crushing pressure, I let out a loud wail
Every moment counts, I’m about to drown, we’ve done it, we’ve tipped the scale
And just for a moment, for a split second, my rocket ship leads me astray
Everything breaks, I fall out the airlock, infinity pulls me away
My crew mates betray me, they cut off my chord, they say I can be on my own
Everything’s dark besides the stars in the sky, so far, so cold, so unknown
Then I turn my head, my eyes are so blurry but I see the earth in its grace
Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you, we, are floating in space
