Lyrics
Missions End
Words & Music by Marc Hockley
Floating out in space, tech we don’t want
Orbiting the earth, a space junk moat
All just thrown away, it won’t just float away
Twenty thousand bits & pieces float
Circuitry and wire, scientific hopes
To progress mankind, all left behind
Machinery, drifting out in space
Broken Satellites, out of use & out of sight
So easy to pretend, at the missions end
Artificial eyes, floating around above
Hard to visualize all that debris and junk
All beyond repair, hardware, out there, somewhere
Hardly a surprise, we’ve made a mess up there
Can you ever-imagine, the shit that drifts out there
Major Tom is strung out - in heavens high
