"Today's The Day You Die (Alone In Space)" lyrics
Bonecage & Dan Bull Lyrics
I always considered myself a humble individual
Dressed in muted colors, haircut was unoriginal
Faded in the background of numbers and digital signals
Under the radar, may as well have become invisible
I just wanted to get on with my job
Feed my family back home, my son and my dog
But it wasn't to be, no, it wasn't my lot
'Cause I was summoned to plead my comeuppance with God
(Hooh) Looking back, maybe I shouldn't have been a stranger
My shipmates saw it as suspicious behavior (Haw)
And when you think you're in danger, your brain just
Doesn't consider there could be legitimate ways to explain
Somebody's not involved in a case that's unsolved
They won't wait till it's cold up in space
Where the laws aren't the same as enforced back at base
They're not waiting to take it to court, it's unfortunate
Such a brutal sentence carried out on a decent man
He begged and pleaded, and tried to make them understand
He spoke the truth when all they wanted was a lie
The judged him guilty and they sent him off to die
Alone in space
They said a corpse had been found, I never saw it
When it was reported I was sat on the toilet
How could I be embroiled and entangled in this scandal
When I had my trousers down on the ground around my ankles?
By the time I'd left the cubicle I'd get accused of all
The things of which I knew little, flipping beautiful
My hands were barely dry, they said I might have blood on them
But I'm an innocent guy, come on, have you forgotten:
No opportunity for me to testify, no fair trial
Just a death-defying leap and I've run out of air miles
No plea for clemency, that isn't their style
I just never seem to catch a break, I may be here a while
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
Such a brutal sentence carried out on a decent man
He begged and pleaded, and tried to make them understand
He spoke the truth when all they wanted was a lie
They judged him guilty and they sent him off to die
Alone in space
(Such a brutal sentence carried out on a decent man)
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
(He begged and pleaded, and tried to make them understand)
Until this oxygen just stops again
(He spoke the truth when all they wanted was a lie)
No option but to breathe this oxygen
(They judged him guilty and they sent him off to die)
Until this oxygen just stops again
The end you suffer is the ultimate disgrace
Lost forever and today's the day you die alone in space
They who judge are keen to seal an awful fate
What a trip it's been, today's the day you die alone in space
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Today's the day you die alone in space
So I guess I'll breathe this oxygen
Until this oxygen just stops again
No option but to breathe this oxygen
Today's the day you die alone in space
Dressed in muted colors, haircut was unoriginal
Faded in the background of numbers and digital signals
Under the radar, may as well have become invisible
I just wanted to get on with my job
Feed my family back home, my son and my dog
But it wasn't to be, no, it wasn't my lot
'Cause I was summoned to plead my comeuppance with God
(Hooh) Looking back, maybe I shouldn't have been a stranger

Today's the day you die alone in space
