Sittin' up here watchin' all the lights blink down below

The Earth is turnin', why does it go so slow?

Thinkin' about the girl I left behind

Houston can you hear me or have I lost my mind?

Why me, why me?



I was waitin' on the pad, all systems were go

The man up in the tower was enjoyin' the show

Then I got this feelin' that I never had before

Hey, let me out of here, what am I here for?

Why me, why me?



There must be a thousand other guys

Must be some other way to look good in your eyes

Why am I up here, what do they see in me?

Must be one thousand other places to be

Why me?



The last man to leave here was never heard from again

He won't be back this way til 2010

Now I'm riding on a fountain of fire

With my back to the Earth, I go higher and higher

Why me, why me?



There must be a thousand other guys

Must be some other way to look good in your eyes

Why am I out here, what do they see in me?

Must be one thousand other places to be

Why me?



Why me, take anyone but me

Why me, take anyone but me

Why me?

Why me?
