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
