SPACE ESCAPE
V1 I WAS A PLANET, BROKEN IT’S ORBIT
DRIFTING AIMLESSLY IN SPACE
THE MILKY WAY WAS MY YELLOW BRICK ROAD
STARS LIT THE WAY, BUT TO WHAT PLACE?
Ch. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS FREEZING
TWAS WHERE I DESERVED TO BE
ASTRAL WIND SLICED THROUGH ME
I SUFFERED TO BE FREE
V2 I AMAZED AT THE EARTH
HOW THE STARS FLEW SO FAST
THE WORLD APPEARED TINY
THE UNIVERSE, SO VAST
V3 I’D WANTED TO ESCAPE
I ‘D PLANNED HOW I’D DIE
BUT MY PROBLEMS SEEMED INSIGNIFICANT
WHEN VIEWED FROM THE SKY
Ch THE ATMOSPHERE WAS FREEZING
TWAS WHERE I DESERVED TO BE
ASTRAL WIND SLICED THROUGH ME
I SUFFERED TO BE FREE
V4 I’M SHIVERING NOW,
I THINK I MADE A MISTAKE
I WANT TO GO BACK TO EARTH
AND DEAL WITH THE LIFE THAT I’VE MADE
V5. BEING MORTAL IS SO WARM
COMPARED TO FLOATING UP THERE
NOW I’M IN NO HURRY
TO CLIMB THAT HEAVENLY STAIR.
