Distance Overtime - A Voyage Through Outer Space Lyrics

I'm just a mime
I am biding my time
Waiting to go far away
I'm flying far
I'll be passing many stars
On a voyage through outer space

Traveling alone can be unkind
Leaving everyone you know behind

A metal box, you are confined
Your company is just your mind
Vision hazy, less defined
You wish the mission was reassigned
You want to go back on your vow
Push to see what they'll allow
Wondering what you'll do now
Try to find a way out somehow

Gone askew, the cost of going somewhere new
Feeling blue, what am I to do without you
All alone, my company is just my own
Feeling cold, never getting to grow old

I remember the story on TV
Maybe a year ago, or two, or three
They talked about it all over the news
The boy was alone, and paranoid, and confused

And to this day it brings a tear to my eye
He did what he was told, didn't deserve to die
You think that would've slowed them down
But they sent up six more of those foolish clowns

I wanna say thank you
For all that you did
Thank you, you were a good kid
Thank you
Thank you, a fool in the rain
Thank you, couldn't stop their train
And all your suffering was in vain
