Columbia

Ground control broke up a year ago
I’m drifting into the great unknown
Too high up to experience vertigo
I should have never left home

But I stand alone
On a one-way trip to nowhere
But I’d never know
Of the things I’d see on my way there

Nebulas so wide you realise
We can’t be the only ones here
Dying stars so starved of supplies
I fear my end draws near

But I stand alone
On a one-way trip to nowhere
But I’d never know
Of the things I’d see on my way there

When the ship spits out its final farewell
I pray to the only God I know
I cannot slip the surly bonds of this world
I’ve got too many years to go

But I stand alone
On a one-way trip to nowhere
But I’d never know
Of the things I’d see on my way there

It’s breaking up!
It’s breaking up!
It’s shutting down
I don’t know why
Is this my goodbye?
