Burning in the Stratosphere by Steam Powered Giraffe Lyrics

[Commander Peter Walter IV, Spoken]
I promise I'll be back soon, before you know. Come here. Remember what I told you?

[Sung]
I told you
I’d hold you
Hold you till the mornin’ light
You save me, I’ll save you
Save ourselves from our own plight

[Spoken]
I'll come back just as I left. I love you!

[Ground Control, spoken]
Roger that, Commander Walter. Please make final preparations for systems check

[Commander Peter Walter IV, Sung]
I will return
I will return
I will return
[Ground Control, spoken]
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, (start ignition,) four, three, (we're in the green,) two, one

[Commander Peter Walter IV, Sung]
I will wager misery
I will wait, just you see
I will live for tomorrow
I won’t set myself free

I will be first to confess
I will stray into darkness
I will not lay it to rest
I will not remember light

Burning in the stratosphere
Burning in the stratosphere
Waited so long I no longer care
I’m burning in the stratosphere

Come and smash all my stars
Come and smash all my stars
I prayed too hard and I'm back to it
Just burning in the stratosphere

We’re all just burning in the stratosphere
[Ground Control, spoken]
Commander Walter, this is Mission Control! There is an unknown energy source escaping--!
