My Arrival - Strange Machine

Sit down, let's think straight
and let's find a way to carry that weight
We've really run aground
This way there won't be a second time around

Do you think the machine will work
or will it fail because of some odd quirk
Are you sure you're paying attention
Forget the girl, there's no time for an extension

(Chorus)
Will you travel for us
See the stars for us
and find our new home
Will you travel for us
See the stars for us
and land where we may roam

Sit down, let's think straight
She won't take notice of me in this sorry state
Now I've really run aground
But I know there won't be a second time around

I'm not sure the machine will work
or if it will fail due to some odd quirk
I should really be paying attention
and fight harder for man's ascension

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Just when you think you've seen it all
This strange machine here for the long haul
To take me further than I've ever been
And set new light upon my skin

But you've never left my mind
Even as I'm here fighting for all mankind
I'll take to the skies and see just what will be
and hope this machine will bring you back to me
