Burning in the Stratosphere

I promise I'll be back soon, before you know. Come here. Remember what I told you?

I told you

I’d hold you

Hold you till the mornin’ light

You save me, I’ll save you

Save ourselves from our own plight

I'll come back just as I left. I love you!

Roger that, Commander Walter. Please make final preparations for systems check

I will return

I will return

I will return

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, (start ignition,) four, three, (we're in the green,) two, one

I will wager misery

I will wait, just you see

I will live for tomorrow

I won’t set myself free

I will be first to confess

I will stray into darkness

I will not lay it to rest

I will not remember light

Burning in the stratosphere

Burning in the stratosphere

Waited so long I no longer care

I’m burning in the stratosphere

Come and smash all my stars

Come and smash all my stars

I prayed too hard and I'm back to it

Just burning in the stratosphere

We’re all just burning in the stratosphere

Commander Walter, this is Mission Control! There is an unknown energy source escaping--!
