Galaxy
Hans-Ulrich Pohl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Astronauts report it feels good, T-minus 25 seconds
20 seconds and counting
T-minus 15 seconds, guidance is internal
12, 11, 10, 9, ignition sequence starts
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero
Yeah
Han Maine up in this bitch
You know what it is
Let's go
Y'all already know imma touch the sky
Ain't no other option when you're up this high
I'm a risk taker, I was born for this
Nothing that compares to the dark abyss
In my rocket ship I'm taking off
Space walking like Alexei Leonov
Put this thing on autopilot
Imma turn it up like it's Friday night
I got intuition, ambition, and know
Exactly where this thing will go
I ain't scared of nothing
Even though there is just always something
Past Neptune and Pluto, hey
Almost at the end of the Milky Way
If you need me at all, I'll be
At the other end of the galaxy
At the other end of the galaxy
Well, I'm on the edge of paradise
I told you once, I'll tell you twice
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Than on the other end of the galaxy
I'm how many billion miles away
From my hometown in Canada, eh?
Haven't seen my family
Since I was only twenty-three
I'm way high in the atmosphere
I only got myself to fear
And I don't know what lies ahead
But this is so much better than what scientists said
Past Neptune and Pluto, hey
Almost at the end of the Milky Way
If you need me at all, I'll be
At the other end of the galaxy
Now drop the bass
And nose gear touch down
Space shuttle Atlantis now comes home
To the Kennedy Space Center for the final time
25 years, 32 flights, and over 120 million miles travelled
The legacy of Atlantis is now in the history books
On cruise control
I'm in control
I'm in my zone
On the microphone
