Mission Report 80-096-02 Lyrics

Report regarding the stowaway
Answering to the name of J.
At first, he seemed well-adjusted
Sincere and could be trusted
Then came the asteroid collision
Basically, no risk to our mission
But he seemed anxious and convinced that
We were under an alien attack

Another mission report
Another number in a row
Catalogued in an orderly array
Another mission report
That no one will remember
Gone the day - they filed it away

Another mission
A Mission Report
Another mission
A Mission Report

Imaginary people he would see
Creating a Mars-bound colony
He shunned away and kept to himself
We worried and feared for his health
One morning when left his bed
He looked around and raised his head
Gazing at us with contempt
Saying something quite arrogant

He walked straight to the air lock bay
Flicked the switch of the outer gate
Then ejected himself into space
Drifting away ‘til we could see no trace
Not being crucial to the crew
There was nothing that we could do
The mission will carry on as planned
Our next report will be when we land

Another mission report
Another number in a row
Catalogued in an orderly array
Another mission report
That no one will remember
Gone the day - they filed it away

Another mission
A Mission Report
Another mission
A Mission Report
