The Sub-Orbital Blues

Can you see it?
Believe me that
Our dreams will orbit the Earth forever

My heroes left me here in
1917 I fear
To ponder and perform
The religion of dogs of war
But I can only lift that cup
Long enough to fill my mouth
We'll suffer and scorn
Another 800 billion suckers born
(See it)
And it ain't lost on me
(Believe in it)
That code is all I'm gonna be
But our dreams will orbit the Earth forever

Oh yeah I got 'em bad
Got them suborbital blues baby

Existence
Is oh so temporary
(I've got my feet on the ground)
We've all been waiting
(Waiting to escape this world)
This obsession
Digitize perceptions
Save us
(Save us)
We live forever
(Save me from that hole in the ground)

But now I'm light as a feather
Just ones 'n zeros
Is this Heaven?
I don't feel
I don't think
Just want St. Peter to let me in

Because my sea is a black sea
And the air
The air is trying to kill me
Oh God save me

Now they're dragging out the bodies
To dig their holes in the ground again
Throw your children to the sky
See the widowed mothers crying again
Tell me what will you do?
(What will you do?)
Yeah have you heard the news?
I don't think we're gonna make it
(What will you do?)
'Cause the government is coming for you

Do you see it?
Believe in it?
(Launch me into orbit)
Our dreams will orbit the Earth forever

The dead they speak to me
Told me you can't break free
But they don't see
What I've seen
So I tell them how it's gonna be

Do you see it?
Believe in it?
Our dreams will orbit the Earth forever

Do you see it?
(Tell me can you see it)
Believe in it?
(I don't believe it)
Our dreams will orbit the Earth forever
