Lost in space
Faction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've gone too far, what are we to do now?

We pass the distant stars and I ask how, how, how

Lost in space, we'll never get back

Subject to an alien attack
Lost in space the sky's all black

Their scopes and probes can't get us back

Way off course without a clue, all instruments stop working

Weightlessness means no way up





No food no fuel we're outta luck.
