High Moon Lyrics

Memories come back to me, it's the 22nd century
Unthinkable events occur on the 3rd moon of JupiterI'd leave this hellhole if I could
The mining's hard but the pay is good
There is only one way to survive
I take the drug to stay aliveThe shuttlecraft has landed, the killers have arrived
I know I'm alone here, there is no one on my side
I'm ready for the showdown, so let the chase begin
I will not be defeated
I have made a solemn vow to leave here soonHigh moon
High moon
High moon
High moonThe company is trying to hide the higher rates of suicide
There's no pain and much to gain, but then the drug destroys their brainI gotta leave this evil place
I don't belong in outer space
Outside it's zero atmosphere
The only way to get out of hereThe shuttlecraft has landed, the killers have arrived
I know I'm alone here, there is no one on my side
I'm ready for the showdown, so let the chase begin

I will not be defeated
I have made a solemn vow to leave here soonHigh MoonHe had to choose between his part in this machine
Or going back with her to earth
He never had a choice, but when he heard her voice
He fought for all that he was worth
He had to choose between his part in this machineI had to choose, I could not lose
Or going back with her to earth
Had to get back to you
He never had a choice, but when he heard her voice
I had no choice, I heard your voice
He fought for all that he was worth
I had to survive, had to stay aliveHigh moon
High moonThe shuttlecraft has landed, the killers have arrived
I know I'm alone here, there is no one on my side
I'm ready for the showdown, so let the chase begin
I will not be defeated
I have made a solemn vow to leave here soonHigh Moon
