Dead Bodies on the Moon

from Techno Alien by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Work and eat, R n R together, we met on the same roster
The only escape when we split up was going back to my quarters
Just like solitary confinement, think about debt it’s daunting
Whether it’s Earth or outer space, it’s coming back to haunt you

CHORUS
3 weeks out of every 5
Come back to work, haunt the site
Dead bodies on the Moon are bad for morale

Since space tourism’s taken off, Moon travel’s pretty cheap
3 weeks then a fortnight off, it’s an 84 hour week
29 days for the sun to move across a lunar sky
Everyone still sets their clocks Pacific Standard Time

CHORUS

Our mining site’s on the side of the Moon, facing away from Earth
Anyone known with suicidal thoughts stops being offered work
I know they pay families off to keep their reputation
Floated out with no oxygen tank like my debt will be erased

CHORUS
Bridge
For all the FIFO’s little white lies
Take me back to Earth keep it quiet
Dead bodies on the Moon are bad for morale
