Pluto

[Ethos]
This is Major Ethos to ground control, do you copy? Shuttle's kind of choppy

[Control]
10-4, hear you loud and clear tilt her up about 22 degrees 'til you're level with the sphere
Grab the wheel 'cause you're gonna have to steer, hit the lever on the thrust, trust me you'll be fine
You can just let me know when you're ready and we'll walk you through the steps of the protocol from one to nine
First thing to do is to reboot the GNC, the rings threw the reader out of whack, shuttle thinks you're leaking methane gas

[Ethos]
Neptunian energy got a hold of me like:
Control, are you there, do you read?
Can't we just bypass the fault loop and give the reboot a pass?

[Control]
Way to think on your feet Major, that's why you're the one in the seat just don't forget to plug it back in when the ice melts
Alright on to step two we gotta get some more H20 in case we fall behind in the plan but you can't use the ice from Neptune
'Cause of the ammonia not sure why the shuttle didn't warn ya that you were runnin' low, not sure if you can go-

[Ethos]
Wait, I got an idea, I can find a way to draw in some of the hydrogen from the atmosphere, MacGyver up the other O2 mask
So I can burn it in the tank, let it cool down, wait a day or two and I'll have enough to get myself the rest of the way through

[Control]
That's a good idea Major see what you can do 'cause really soon we gotta hit step three and that'll see you navigatin'
Through an asteroid field without a working pressurizer until the ice on the ship melts... good luck, go calibrate the stabilizer

[Ethos]
Had Jupiter on my side and I realized I was re-energized and this was emphasized by how good I felt but now I'm passin' thru Mars
And I gotta deal with the damage on the honeycomb bars, the body flap hinge is now a metal fringe and I'm seein' red, it's makin' me cringe
Thinkin' of fixin' that fuckin' wing, I'd rather be sinking in a trance, the energy of Mars will have you ready for a war but not a chance I'm givin' in
I'm gonna get past step six, just a little a wind storm kickin' up the dust and it's too thick to burn itself away from the heat of the thrust, here I go
Made it past Earth and I'm on to number seven and I feel like I'm heaven but the temperatures are too hot for the seal on the glass

[Control]
Better depressurize before you pass out on your ass...

[Ethos]
Then I can run down and grab the caulk before I start to the feel gas, workin' through the heat of Venus until we pass through and hit Mercury, when I hear the alarm goin' off it's a double fail; got a cryo-leak!

[Control]
Solar winds throwin' off your path of trajectory

[Ethos]
That's okay, there's duplicity in what I see, cannot wait to rise to the sun after I head back home and tell everyone about my space odyssey
On to number nine, that's the part where I tell my story through a sine, and they're probably gonna build a shrine
'Cause I redefine, and I redesign, and I don't need a co-sign, I rise with the sun
