What made you want to go into space <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Major Tom <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are you the sole commander of this mission <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing that we might never return <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of the French Foreign Legion Luke <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the people that I have ever met <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who have served with the French Foreign Legion <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were running away from from something <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sad love affair A crime A shameful secret <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each had a different story to tell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To an extent this is why I asked for our mission <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An endless mission to discover God <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is why there is only one escape pod <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of us will I hope find God <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas the other <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a good wind behind them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will return to earth <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How will we choose <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The choice has already been made <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each of us has a pink envelope <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It contains our final order <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please explain <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One order tells you to prepare for the pod <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And return to earth <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other will tell you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To go to Deck Six <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deck Six <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Deck Six a book awaits <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a book <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes just a book <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will tell you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that you need to know <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this book <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is indeed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When are we supposed to open our envelopes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be an unmistakable signal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then we must open them together <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At exactly the same time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of us will stay aboard this ship <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other will return to earth within a year <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has all been planned in the finest detail <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we both just have to wait for the signal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What were you running from Major Tom <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same as you Luke <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are both running from the same thing
