[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunrise o'er the atmosphere, a lovely shade of blue Then the comms light up, "Sir, they're coming through!" Purple ships are swarming, down on Earth, you see But I'm way up here, just sipping my space tea! [Pre-Chorus] My telescope is powerful, I see the plasma beams It's messing with my perfectly good space-admiral dreams! They're calling for maneuvers, for tactics bold and new But what's a Fleet Admiral stuck in orbit supposed to do? [Chorus ] Oh, I've got the Orbit Blues, yeah, the sparkly kind! Watching Earth get glassed, nearly outta my mind! Hello? Can you hear me? Testing, one, two, three! [Verse 2] New Mombasa's burning, I saw it on the feed Sent a strongly worded message, "Stop that, yes indeed!" Master Chief is down there, he's got it, I suppose While I'm polishing my medals and striking a cool pose! [Pre-Chorus] My admirals are busy, trying to deploy While I'm just here wishing I had a brand new space toy! They're shouting "Brutes and Elites!" and "Where's the air support?" And I'm like, "Hold on, guys, just checking the report!" [Chorus] Oh, I've got the Orbit Blues, yeah, the sparkly kind! Watching Earth get glassed, nearly outta my mind! Hello? Can you hear me? Testing, one, two, three! [Bridge] Maybe I could send a drone? Or a really nice bouquet? To tell the Covenant nicely, "Could you please just go away?" I've got all this authority, a very fancy hat But it's hard to command a battle when you don't know where it's at! [Instrumental Break ] Oh, I've got the Orbit Blues, yeah, the sparkly kind! Watching Earth get glassed, nearly outta my mind! Hello? Can you hear me? Testing, one, two, three! [Outro] "Is this thing on? Hello, Earth? Anyone got a status update?"
