lyrics

They sent us on a cosmic chase
A legendary quest
Through time and space
To save the dying human race
Said a nameless face
Of the mega corporation.

So we pack our bags
Update the maps
Check for scanner lag
Call upon a scientist
From the lab
Who joins this merry gang

Space travel ain't easy
It takes a hardened man
Of heart and soul as pure as gold
And eyes that shine in the dark

Now swimming
Through stars
Lightyears apart
In the nuclear jar
Doomed from the start
Was a monster in the dark

But our eyes wouldn't shine
With a shriveled spine
We saw what confined
Can cross the line
And all us nine
Were really really funked ;)

Space travel ain't easy
It takes a hardened man
Of heart and soul as pure as gold
And eyes that shine in the dark

So I hacked and sawed
Through astronauts
Whose brains had burnt
Maddening hot
From being in space
Too very long

Headed to Earth
Im frozen in ice
Travelling through time
Didn't turn out so nice
A thousand years from here
I'll be home again....

Space travel ain't easy
It takes a hardened man
Of heart and soul as pure as gold
And eyes that shine in the dark
