The Great Space Station

(Chorus)

Oh I know it’s gonna fall on me
Yes I know it’s gonna land on me
They say it could fall most anywhere
Most likely in the deep blue sea
But I know it’s gonna fall on me
Yes I’m sure it’s gonna land on me
When the great space station falls from the sky
I know it’s gonna fall on me

Verse 1

Parts of it may burn up passing through the atmosphere
The largest part will stay intact when it finds me here
So if you see great fireworks you’ll know right where I’ll be
When the great space station falls from the sky
I know it’s gonna fall on me

Verse 2

Men of science built it for the heavens and the stars
They said “We have a rocket that can take it up that far
We won’t have to bring it back – by then we’ll all be gone
And if it falls, it won’t be us that it’ll be falling on.”

(repeat chorus)

Verse 3

I have often pondered what my exit path would be
Will I pass quietly in my sleep or fall out of a tree?
But when I heard the news, it became clear to me
When the great space station falls from the sky
I know it’s gonna fall on me

Verse 4

It might not be a space ship that causes your demise
Maybe sickness or accident or even homicide
But a morning will come with the last sunrise you’ll view
When your own space station falls from the sky
You’ll know it’s gonna land on you

(repeat chorus)
