Escape Velocity - Lyrics

Waking to another day of crazy news on the radio       
It’s fair to say that there is panic in the madhouse

[Ground Control]
Do you find peace of mind in your day?    

[Module]
Yes at night when strife goes away

[Ground Control]     
Can you remain hopefull all the same?   

[Module]
I don’t know if I can but I’ll try    
For now I’d rather lay down and sleep                          
      
Spiraling in space;  eight thousand million souls 
Are striving to stay alive;
Half of them asleep, most of them blind 
I need time off  from this neverending circus

Longing to feel weighless
High in orbit free from gravity           
Unleashing enough might to reach Escape Velocity
Then soar above the sky

Peering down at our frantic world spinning round
At a pace so fast:  Amazed how quickly daylight has faded away again
40 minutes till next sunrise

[Ground Control]
High up from this vantage point what can you see?

[Module]
Anthills full of aimless running people

[Ground Control]
Do you feel proud being a part of this scene?

[Module]
Not so much at this time, there will be better days
But for now I will fall back to bed and dream away
