Spaceship is on fire
Snake in your spacesuit
Ground control has all gone home
They said they can't replace you
This shuttle is a piece of shit, like half the buttons work
And all the lights and indicators just plain indecipherable
I suspect they laugh at this tin coffin
Even as they feign applause when pushing me toward the horizon
Find a new star, still not rhyming
I can't believe I once believed that they believed in me
I feel another pull that's stronger
Than that of all the stars behind me
I'm homesick for a home I know I'm never welcome back to
So I watch it shrink as oxygen leaks slowly from my capsule
Spaceship is on fire
Snake in your spacesuit
Ground control has all gone home
They said they can't replace you
This vessel isn't big enough to be my anger's weapon
If it was, I'd rain its flaming wreckage down on all their heads
But passing through the atmosphere would mean disintegration
They wouldn't notice my revenge, just more humiliation
Clutching my umbilical and strangled by my halo
The ten thousand stars behind me pulling on a flightless angel
The one thin thread that's been holding this boy to the earth
I will break it, and scatter all the constellations
Spaceship is on fire
Snake in your spacesuit
Ground control has all gone home
They said they can't replace you
