about

This was the final entry in very first Masters of Song Fu, (where I was lucky enough to go head to head against Jonathan Coulton.) A re-telling of Bowie's Space Oddity.

lyrics

Safe in the capsule
gonna leave here soon.
nothing around me
though there's not much room.

It's quiet. It's calm.
can you hear me? It's Tom.

I'm getting high!
can you see me?
I'm the blink in the night sky

I'm not afraid
so much to fear
hey, I can see my house from here...

no air to speak of
and still my hand is on the door

I give it a shove
and out into the clear
don't want to take a fall from here

out of the capsule
gonna leave here soon.
and the stars look very different today
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

I'm high!
can you see me?
I'm the blink in the night sky

I'm not afraid
everythings clear
there's nothing left to engineer

I'm high!
can you see me?
I'm the blink in the night sky

I'm not afraid
everythings clear
tell my wife no need for tears
