Fate is a funny thing
When you know you can't come back
My attempts were vain
Only to find it's too late, too late

Looking out my little window
See all the people there below
Wishing they could all climb in
I'm wishing only that
It will not blow
40 seconds till the gasses burn
I'm happy to be on the list
Soon I'll be floating way up
Will you send her up here-
For one last kiss?
Tomorrow will be
Lonely when the sun is far away
Cold and dark, I'm drifting into space
My heart is racing
I feel very strange, but nice
Drinking lunch with
My little window, shows me
What looks like Africa
Float down to the gym
Where I work out my tension
I feel so alive
Here, it does not rain
Where you can't kiss your lover
But you get to fly
Love my electronic life
Will I die for it? Deep in here?

Miles away, my family celebrates
I reach for my video-cam display
But the sound is garbled coming out
'Cause it's just my past life anyway
Today
It's just my past life anyway
Today
