Best of the Subspace Years

Tonight we're sitting here again
Drinking, thinking of the past
And all the things we've done
Hoping and remember

Everything is beautiful out there
Outside the atmosphere
That's where we want to be
OK, it's pretty nice down here

The nature and the wild, wild life
But it can't beat the sight
From 20 miles above
Everything is beautiful out there

Outside the atmosphere
That's where we want to be
There is nothing like to be in zero G
The feeling's so intense, what a harmony

Doesn't matter that we've done it so many times
It is such a thrill and we'll do it again
Everything is beautiful out there
Outside the atmosphere

That's where we want to be

Months of preparations are over
Now I'm finally here
Standing in the airlock waiting
The signal says clear
Jumping through the open door
A sight I've never seen before
Space is everywhere
And the Earth is there
Pressing the yellow magic key
Releases the wires and sets me free
Spacewalking, spacewalking
There is no up and there is no down when I'm spacewalking
Flying high in the sky
I'm floating in a vacuum
Away from the Enterprise
Can't say that I'm a believer
But this is paradise
Suddenly a feeling of presence somewhere
I turn around and see a face: "an alien, I swear!"
No suit, gray skin, big black eyes
Looking at me, I'm paralyzed
Then it's gone
I'm all alone
Spacewalking, spacewalking
There is no up and there is no down when I'm spacewalking

Our world is a terrible place
There must be something better in space
Or is just the time in which we live
That has nothing good to give
Let's grab a ship and blast away
Because I don't want to die here, I don't want to stay

When I see the stars above I know that I'm alive
We're going so fast
We're leaving our past
At the speed of light
We'll be young when you are dead
The future lies ahead
At the speed of light
Our goal is to find a new home
There is a chance: we are not alone
But if there is nothing to be found
Plan B is to turn around
A year to us is a hundred to you
When we're back everything will be new

When I see the stars above I know that I'm alive
I don't care what happens to me, because I know I'll survive
We're going so fast
We're leaving our past
At the speed of light
We'll be young when you are dead
The future lies ahead
At the speed of light
