Long Cold Sleep Songtext
von Softwire

It′s a long cold sleep on the way
Forty years on ice just to get that pay
We venture out, helium mines
They sell for millions but we get dimes
We're shipped out twenty thousand times
In this long cold sleep
Long cold sleep


It′s a long hard slog day by day
Carbon torch in hand, subzero spray
Vacuum suited, seals locked
Pirate raiders, shotguns cocked
But we're still forced to keep the coffers stocked
Before our next long cold sleep
Long cold sleep

The shuttle's on lockdown to fend off the ′phage
I′ve read my grandchildren's obituary page
I′ve been under for nearly three hundred years
But the future is full of your scariest fears
Propellant explosion took out my right leg
But robotics ain't covered, they gave me a peg
I′m constantly checking and counting my days
'Til the long cold sleep

Hey, oh
Yeah, it′s that long cold sleep
Hey, ah
For that long cold sleep
