Sitting up here watching all the lights blink down below.

The earth is turning, why does it go so slow?

Thinking about the girl I left behind

Houston can you hear me, or have I lost my mind?

I was waiting on the pad, all systems were go

The man up in the tower was enjoying the show

Then I got this feeling that I never had before

Hey let me out of here, what am I here for?

Why me?

The last man to be here was never heard from again

He won't be back this way till 2010

Now I'm riding on a fountain of fire

With my back to the earth, I go higher and higher
