Mining on an Asteroid

They said 'do you want adventure', I thought yeah that's for me
They said the pay was very good, I thought 'now I'll be free'
So, I signed upon the dotted line, and they took me right away
They trained me up and they sent me, soon I was on my way

So, I'm sitting here upon this rock, staring out to sea
I can't see water anywhere, it's a horrible place to be

We spent 90 days in an old tin can, at a fraction of the speed of light
We docked in silence in the cold and dark, somehow it didn't feel right
They showed us to our quarters, they gave us some food to eat
We dun' started work the very next day, I just couldn't find my feet

So, I'm sitting here upon this rock, staring out to sea
I can't see water anywhere, it's a horrible place to be

Oh God I miss my lady, the distance is a pain
But they just won't let me phone her, because of the power drain
And my best friend he got killed today, he wasn't taking care
We gotta send him back for burial, can't cremate him for lack of air

So, I'm sitting here upon this rock, staring out to sea
Mining on an asteroid, is a horrible place to be

So, I'm sitting here upon this rock, staring out to sea
I can't see water anywhere, it's a horrible place to be

So, I'm sitting here upon this rock, staring out to sea
Mining on an asteroid, is a horrible place to be
