Shitkicking in the crab nebula

My symbiant left me,

she took all the fuel,

revenge’s best served cold

but this is so cruel

I’d point the main thrusters,

set course in pursuit,

but she broke the airlock,

and tore up the suit.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

I’m patching my cruiser

my ship is a mess,

our last go misused her,

that black hole , the stress.

she said that she liked it,

that symbiant ’f mine,

then took all the fuel cells,

boy, she had her fun.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

Now sitting here thinking;

oh, where things gone wrong?

what was it that made me,

end up drifting alone,

oh, was it the larva,

that got in the way?

the scales? the antenna?

The man-meat buffet?

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

I’m not getting desperate,

I still have some air,

and I can still hibernate,

on the control chair,

but sitting there frozen,

I won’t catch that witch,

so better try something,

and fix up the breech.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

And while I am patching,

the vacuum, the cold,

then out of the darkness,

a sight to behold!

another jalopy,

is drifting quite near

it’s beat up and holed up,

but still has some gear!

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

So I’m jumping over

I rigged up a rope,

the other ship’s busted,

but I have some hope,

and if there’s some people

that’re waiting inside,

survivors taste better,

when there’s nowhere to hide.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

All ripped up, this ship has,

the engine is shot,

most systems are red-lined,

but fuel they still got.

and there’s one survivor,

she looks pretty fierce,

the rayguns go flashing,

and my suit gets pierced.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

I wake up all tied up,

electrodes, on bed

the lady’s ol’ raygun,

point right at my head.

’What was this intrusion?

why come in so rough?′

I better start talking ,

or my head’s shot off.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

So talking it through,

in common, we’ve got

we’re both screwd and dumped,

our ships are both shot,

but ’tween us we found

that my ship still could soar,

if we move stuff over,

from her ships main store.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

I will get my druthers,

her due when it’s done

I’ll send her to ride on,

right into the sun.

Now engines are roaring,

ship’s catching some speed,

the red lights are glaring,

and that’s all I need.

but she’s still there standing ,

her tentacles sway

I dont think I’ll eat her,

at least not today.

chorus:

driftin’ driftin’

oh, run out of air,

driftin’ driftin’

but I don’t despair,

we both get our druthers

our due when it’s done.

And I’ll send that witch flying

right into the sun.
