On Re Entry

[Verse 1]
Since the wreck I've been floating, floating
Since it happened I've been adrift
There wasn't a sound when the reactor imploded
No, I didn't see it coming
I've got a little excess of oxygen left in my reserve
And there's a lovely lush green world ahead, I have heard

[Chorus]
Ooh, the atmosphere is clean where I'm landing
And the waves will wash off my debris
Mangoes ripened from the vine, will thus revive me
I hope I don't burn up on re-entry
I hope I don’t burn up on re-entry

[Verse 2]
Crack my visor I'm speeding through the vacuum, vacuum
Blew my circuit I don't think that I've got too long
Just a little excess of oxygen left in my reserve
I'm a lone survivor crashing along as I burn
I've been a traveling man, if I can, I only mean to observe
I got no time to waste I'm diving in head first
Come on

[Chorus]
Ooh, the atmosphere is clean where I'm landing
And the waves will wash off my debris
Mangoes ripened from the vine, will thus revive me
I hope I don't burn up on re-entry
I hope I don't burn up on re-entry

[Bridge]
I've been away too long

[Verse 3]
I've been stressing on and off about the facts
I'm trying to keep my focus intact
There is no likelihood of smooth landing
I've come to grips with that
I'm coming in hot to no clear path

[Chorus]
Ooh, the atmosphere is clean where I'm landing
And the waves will wash off my debris
Mangoes ripened from the vine, will thus revive me
I hope I don't burn up on re-entry

Ooh, the atmosphere is clean where I'm landing
And the waves will wash off my debris
Mangoes ripened from the vine, will thus revive me
I hope I don't burn up on re-entry
I hope I don’t burn up on re-entry

[Outro]
I've been away too long
I hope I don’t burn up on re-entry
