All systems go !!
The jailship is flying high
From the ground, to out of sight
They pay their crimes, locked inside
Where they go, the judge knows
They did too many murders
Then fell into the crater
They made too many speeches
Against what the people believe
Getting the no limit sentence
For them it's the last stop
The treason made upon them
Upset 'cause there's no way to return, return
All systems go, blow the reactors
But where do we go? We don't know!
The prisoners, looking mad
There's no color aboard this flight
Computer station watch them all
Deep in the hole too many echoes
The space jail center program
Recorded, numbered, classified
This bunch of desperate guys
Changing to sub-rat humans
And then in special cases
You've gotta be quiet
If you're not what they want
They're gonna throw you out in space, in space
All systems go, blow the reactors
But where do we go? We don't know!
Cylindrical habitat modules
Let me out of here, and I heard my name
It's time they said!
Forgotten in space!
Dressed with a skin tight pressure suit
Swimming in the universe
It's the best place you can be
It's the last place you will be
You'll be
It's boring to spend time
In the jail with no gravity
Suspended in nothingness
Awaiting your own liberty
Just one hour, not too much oxygen
Just one hour, not too much oxygen
Hydrocarbonic smog, methane ice crystals
Ultraviolet rays in the galaxy's core
Rotations and orbits of somebody
Atoms and molecules through my body
Just half an hour, not too much oxygen
Just half an hour, not too much oxygen
You're forgotten in space, you're forgotten in space....
In space!!
