Well, what do we have here?
Humans in combat with heat death
The capital crime of continuing on
Round a flickering, sickening bend
What, what is it they fear?
But the last of the stars being spent
Because all is forgotten and time marches on
To the real and ultimate end
3 7 5 3, second moon... Cruithne
Well, what'll it be, not a moment's rest for inquiry
Well, bootstrap, get us out of sure catastrophe
The odds have Carter in the planet's captain's seat
Well, shoot first, question the dead
While we've got the grounds
Caught quitting while we're ahead
Before it all compounds
Listen up and carefully
As you plan for your next meal
The universe, your enemy
Is sleeping at the wheel
3 7 5 3, second moon... Cruithne
Well, what'll it be, at the mercy of our progeny
Well, bootstrap, get us out of sure catastrophe
The odds have Carter in the planet's captain's seat
The lifeboat's a hopeless case
It's lights out, we are erased, yeah
Nowhere for us in space
The lifeboat's a hopeless case
A hopeless case, a hopeless case
The lifeboat's a hopeless case
