Gravity Killed the Spaceman

(P. Kennison)

It's getting hard to breathe
As oxygen depletes
Orbiting above
What goes up must come down
Floating through the air
Or crashing to the ground
No one hears me scream
Cannot rescue me
Counting down four, three, two, one

Gravity killed the spaceman
Reality took my life

While drowning in your tears
I'm holding on for life
The television airs
Will this man survive
A cosmonaut his radio and radar disappeared
A hundred thousand miles and still
Counting down four, three, two, one

Gravity killed the spaceman
Reality took my life
Gravity killed the spaceman
Oh reality took my
Someone tell my wife

Earth below us drifting falling
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home
Planet earth is blue
There's nothing I can do
Can you hear me Major Tom?
May God's love be with you

Gravity killed the spaceman
Reality took my life
Gravity killed the spaceman
Oh, reality took my
Someone tell my wife
