spaceship is on fire
snake in your spacesuit
ground control has all gone home
they said they can replace you

this shuttle is a piece of shit
like half the buttons work
and all the lights and indicators
just plain indecipherable
i suspect they laugh at this tin coffin
even as they feign applause
when pushing me towards the horizon
find a new star, stillnaut rjyan
i can't believe i once believed
that they believed in me
i feel another pull that's stronger
than that of all the stars behind me
i'm homesick for a home
i know i'm never welcome back to
so i watch it shrink
as oxygen leaks slowly
from my capsule

spaceship is on fire
snake in your spacesuit
ground control has all gone home
they said they can replace you

this vessel isn't big enough
to be my anger's weapon
if it was i'd rain its flaming wreckage
down on all their heads
in passing through the atmosphere
with mean disintegration
they would notice my revenge
just more humiliation
clutching my umbilical
and strangled by my halo
the ten thousand stars behind my
pulling on a flightless angel
the one thin thread that's been holding
this boy to the earth
i will break it
and scatter all the constellations

spaceship is on fire
snake in your spacesuit
ground control has all gone home
they said they can replace you
