(NASA sound byte:
Okay, Houston
We’ve had a problem here.
This is Houston. Say again, please.
Houston, we’ve had a problem.)

[Tick, tock, tick, tock]

Up, down, spinning around
Driven by our greed, we’ve burned our bridges down
Wrong, right, we don’t know day from night
We argue over pennies, as the clock is ticking down

Get me out of here x4

Blue, Green, she’s our Life Machine
One precious lady, spinning out in space
You, me, her careless seeds
She gave us a garden, so we paved over her face

Get me out of here x 4

Get me off this rock
It’s a lunatic asylum
We trade our lives for pay
Now the walls are crumbling down
Get me off this rock
It’s a one way street we’re driving
These towers that we’ve made
Time will soon erase
So…

Get me out of here x 4

Get me off this rock
It’s a lunatic asylum
We trade our lives for pay
Now the walls are coming down
Get me off this rock
This doomsday ship we’re riding
These towers that we’ve made
Time will soon erase

So…
get me out of here x 8

(NASA sound byte:
Ignition sequence start …
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 …
All engines running.
Liftoff!
We have a liftoff …
32 minutes past the hour,
liftoff on Apollo 11.
Tower clear.
OK, we’ve got a roll program. )
