A wiser man than I once spoke
That life at heart is all a joke
But he was not embroiled in smoke
So it's pump, me boys, before we choke
Pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
The image of my sweetheart's face
It fires the heart and sets the pace
Whate'er the time, whate'er the place
I'll find him through the depths of space
Singing, pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
I long to lie atop my bed
With pleasant dreams inside my head
But pumping's all I get instead
I'll only sleep among the dead
Pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
My blood is pooling on the floor
And every second I lose more
But there's so many meds in store
I'll do the work of three or four
Singing, pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
The engine fumes will scorch your lungs
The smog is thick, your eyes are stung
But there's no clean air left to run
This pumping business ain't much fun
Singing, pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
The outer hull is shot to hell
The thrust has just one plasma cell
My joints and muscles ache and swell
So fuck the Rose, and you as well!
Pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
A transport mission gone awry
Attacked by Cole and left to fry
Is no excuse, boys, let us cry:
"Today is not the day we die!"
Pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a million miles from home
