Payload

(lin­er notes for track 2)

Got to keep going
got to keep going
keep up the pace
what’s the next step to do
look at the check­list
look at the check­list
check it again
all must be per­fect.
eighty exper­i­ments
crammed in this ship
too many now it seems
wait­ing for me
got to keep going
got to keep going!

work­ing as one
work­ing as one
red and a blue team
shar­ing such tiny space
los­ing more sleep
los­ing more sleep
putting the oth­ers first
that is the key.

can­cer exper­i­ments
flame­balls and such
fire and dust tests
all for mankind
wow what a pay­load
wow what a payload!

keep up the pace
keep up the pace
look at the check­list
there is so much to do
and I feel sick
and I feel sick
still it is mag­i­cal
in zero‑G.
eighty exper­i­ments
I won’t give up
chance of a life­time
no I won’t let them down
wow what a pay­load
wow what a pay­load
got to keep going
got to keep going!
