In Orbit

We left in rocket ships, just like the cartoon strips
And movie scripts we’ve seen up on projection screens
We left the earth for a new place of worth
That we could call our own, without resistance no
And we’ll stay up all night before we sleep all day
And forget about our planet, blown away
Cause it’s just me and you and a small robot crew
That serves us tea for two in the orbit of the moon
We’ve got just two months time before rescue arrives
Our crimes are left behind, we’ve all got peace of mind
So why should we subject ourselves to the rigor and drudgery of a new world
When we could just stay up all night before we sleep all day
And forget about our planet, blown away
Cause it’s just me and you and a small robot crew
That serves us tea for two in the orbit of the moon
We left in rocket ships, just like the cartoon strips
And movie scripts we’ve seen up on projection screens
We left the earth for a new place of worth
That we could call our own, without resistance no
And we’ll stay up all night before we sleep all day
And forget about our planet, blown away
Cause it’s just me and you and a small robot crew
That serves us tea for two in the orbit of the moon
