lyrics

Got a job on an asteroid some twenty years ago
Work was hard, pay was good, but damn did time go slow
Out on the rocks one morn, a glimmer caught my eye
Few guys standin in a crater, I knew somethin was awry
Saw a man down in the dirt with a knife pressed to his face
That was when I knew that these were pirates from outer space
“Release this man” I said as I drew my sword with a twirl
They turned and drew weapons, speaking tongues from another world

Moving at the fastest pace
Not leaving a single trace
And everybody knows my face
Cuz I’m a wanted man in space

Just before our blades crossed, a space cop came on down
His heavy chrome boots kicked up dust as he landed on the ground
“Officer please help me”, to this one hope I did cling
A pirate threw him some cash and he said “Well i don't see a thing”
My jaw dropped down to the floor, I screamed “BASTARD YOU ARE DEAD!”
I charged him with my sword raised, but a blunt object hit my head
As i descended into darkness, I thought i’d entered hell
But then I awoke to the next best thing: a dark and lonely cell

Now you may be wondering how I escaped fate’s cruel design
Well after twenty years, I noticed in my jacket from the mine
Sat a stick of dynamite, two decades in age
I finally had the means to escape this awful wretched cage
That day out on release, I dropped by the wall
And with awestruck wonder, I watched my Babylon fall
I ran out into the dock and punched a pilot in his eyes
And flew off in the abyss, to the warden’s great surprise

So now I find myself before you in this dirty ole space bar
Singing sweet songs of woe, with my trusty ole space guitar
And now my friends, I fear I must be getting out the door
In the cold, dark distance I can hear them sirens roar
