Solitude Unites Us Lyrics

One man alone in a satellite, by his own decision, in almost complete seclusion from
the world. For 15 minutes every second week he has contact with another satellite when
their orbits meet, with a man not there by free will and with death as his only alternative.
Obviously they have nothing but solitude in common.

Though you ruled the human race
Now convicted and under constraint
"On your knees and try to stay alive"
A solar asylum

Left my life for empty space
selfeffacement is my dark retreat
"On your feet and try to live your life"
A solar asylum

Is this heaven?
In orbit we are

One man's lesser evil
Please contact me now
Still in there

Just a brief distraction
"Got no time to waste today"

We're all alone
Don't be afraid

We're so alone in this silent world
Year after year just like a moon
Around the world but still at home
There's no way out
Don't be afraid

There's nothing out there for us anymore

We never meet we never know
Solitude unites us

Talk to me criminal...

15 minutes today
In orbit we are
Who can know who you are?

Please contact me now
Still in there

Just a brief distraction
"Got no time to waste today"
