[spoken intro] Searching for a new home, a spacecraft enters orbit around another hostile world [Verse 1] This world was dead also, He resigned to the fact Preparing for departure, A new search, another pact Something passed by, As he looked through Gravity shifted , To the ceiling he flew [Chorus] circumstances, carry him away shift in perspective, propelled into the fray just a passenger, on this spiral ride summoning his courage from somewhere inside [Verse 2] "Mayday!" he cried, Launched into the wall Voices echoed around, In the ship's narrow hall Grabbing a foothold, Didn't end the ride Crack the whip, it seemed, In chaos, he'd abide [Chorus] circumstances, carry him away shift in perspective, propelled into the fray just a passenger, on this spiral ride summoning his courage from somewhere inside [Bridge] "Ha!" he taunted the ship, Belted in place Calm returned somewhat, A grin on his face Noise from the back, Stopped in its track Howling in the passage, control is coming back [Outro] Desperate to see, The ground rushing near Ears popping loudly, He felt the pressure clear Curiosity burned, To what ahead might lay not the greatest landing, he just might walk away
