lyrics

"Ten men and two women, stuck on a ship,
it took ten years for their lives to be stripped,
of an earthly presence...
There were twelve of us when we first took off,
four stayed strong while the others got soft,
from the atmosphere...
And all I took was a loaded gun,
'cause I had my doubts,
yeah, we all had some
until we got here...
When did we get here?
Some got sick, the others were trouble.
We had a captain and he was humble,
until he send us here...
When did we get here?

If I was a bird then I'd fly away,
but I'm not so I guess I'll stay.
I've always been right,
but somehow I take the blame.
And when I lie down it will hit me in waves,
that I've learned my lesson the hard way,
and the more things change,
the more they stay the same.

Calling in to base,
calling in to check on home.
Drop off the face of the Earth,
with just a drop of wine in my paper cup.
Why do I feel so tremendous,
and why do I feel so majestic,
from way up here?

'Cause if I was a bird then I'd fly away,
but I'm not so I guess I'll stay.
I've always been right,
but somehow I take the blame.
And when I lie down it will hit me in waves,
that I've learned my lesson the hard way,
and the more things change,
the more they stay the same.

Oh, I'm only part awake...
Oh, I'm only part awake...

If I was a bird then I'd fly away,
but I'm not so I guess I'll stay.
I've always been right,
but somehow I take the blame.
And when I lie down it will hit me in waves,
that I've learned my lesson the hard way,
and the more things change,
the more they stay the same.

Are you surprised at all?"
